Bloomington. Ill A Men Dried Apples, a. Ulark Aldntb's, 102 West Front street Dr. UleBrltle. The editor of the Stockton Independent lias the following to say iu regard to Dr.

McUride. who is now in tliis city "This skillliil practitioner and very popular gentleman lias spent the week in this city Introducing a medicine which possesses wondeiftil potency in curing pain. It is called "World's Belief," and is properly named, for iu every case of physical suffering which has come under Dr. McUride's obser. vation and treatment, relief is almost ln-stantaneons.

The great secret of success iu the medical as well as ia other professions, is to know exactly what to do and how to do it. The close, searching, keen discrimination requisite in determining the nature and character of diseases and their symptoms, is an iudispensible characteristic of the first-class physician, and to Dr. McUride's wonderful diagnostic ability is in tho main to be attributed his miraculous success iu curing pain, no matter from what cause arising. Such men are benefactors to their race." Dr. McUride is stopping at the Ashley House, where he can be consulted for the next 20 days.

A Free Trlnl of Keiuedlea Xext Week. It is a fact there are no diseases so tampered witb by quacks and pretenders both in and out of the profession as catarrh and lung diseases, no organs more delicate iu their structure. Hence the Importance of applying to those that make it their study and who have proved themselves successful in their treatment. To cure calairb and lung diseases the physician who treats successfully must make daily applications himself, very hi 1 treatment according to the severity of the disease, l'aitents cannot apply the remedies to the seat of the disease, It must be done by a physician versed iu Anatomy. Then again we have different kindt of catarrh.

We rind the membrane in some hypertrophy, others ulcerated iu others iufiamalion. Tlie disease is not located always in the same cavity, it may be in part. This must be watched for and the parts examined daily. In order that the public may learn more in the way of treating the head, throat, lungs, eye and ear, I have concluded to treat free to all next week. Ladies' hours from 2:30 to 5:30 p.

He could not speak except in a whisper and the general agent very readily accepted bis proposition to buy his life policy at a very small reduction for tpt'se men bad said he could not live three months.

With the money received the doctor came to San Antonio some six years ago, bought a good property in real estate and alsaacatnpout fit ami spent a year in camp and to-day he will weigh 190 pounds and has property worth twenty thousand dollars as the result of the sale of his live thousand dollar insurance policy. It is a fact established by tho most convincing proofs that A CAMP life on the mills around and in the vicinity of San Antonio will 1 more to reinvigorate and restore an invalid suffering with lung complaints than any course orsysietuof medicine invented by man, and men of observation and experience look upon this climate as a most complete sanitarium lor all cases where there remains vitality enough iu the system to make a foundation to build upon, after the fatigue of the journey here. So far as THE STOCK BUSINESS is concerned this section oilers great advantages over any location north of Central Texas, and hile it is true that iu the cattle trade there is likely to be a great falling oif in the production from this section, it is on account of the reckless manner iu which the busiuess for tho past few years has beeu conducted, and is iu no way attributable to the climate or the country. Cattle raising as a business is on the eve of a great revolution in the manner of conducting it. The efforts on the part of the so-called cattle kings to swallow up and override the small operators has led to the abandonment of the plans heretofore in vogue.

Previous to the past three years a man's brand protected his stock, no matter where it tanged, and there were brand uwner whose brand could be found lu almost any county between San Antonio and the Rio Grande. Now, owing to the entire want of common honesty on the part of some of these raiichMien, owners are compelled to sell out their rands at a sacrifice or place their stock 1 ithin fenced enclosures, and 1 would cc taiuly advise all who propose going into tu business to come with the intention of buying their pasturu lauds and fencing them. HUEEP AND HOUSE. With sheep it is different, as they are always kept in herds and under control, and the necessity for fenced lauds for them does not exist. At present tho extreme low prices obtained for the common Texas horses is very discouraging to owners of that class of stock, lint if men of capital would purchase some of those large bodies of cheap lauds now selling at from fifty cents to three dollars per acre, and fence them, select good native brood mares and cross some of your Central Illinois Norman or Percheron horses, there could be a most lucrative business done in raising horses 111 this county.

However, so far as percentage on capital Invested is concerned, there is uo business that ill equal wool gkowi.no In Southwestern Texas, if there is brought into the busiuess good ordinary judgment and attention. Kor many items in this business in answer to inquiries I would refer your readers to a long article 1 wrote iu the October number of the American Agriculturist, and I would say in addition that the gentlemen who write me that the business will soon be orerdone, need have no present fears of seeing an over-production, for as long as we as a nation import fifty million dollars worth of woolen goods and over eleven million dollars worth of wool Chicago Alton EAITjltOAD.

Sa.v Antonio, Texas, Dec. 28, 1876. With your permission, I wish to answer through the columns of the I'antaohaph some of the inquiries of friends and correspondents from Central Illinois, In regard to this part of the great Southwest. Jus tat this lime there seems to be a strong desire 011 the part of many persons In the Northern States to investigate the claims of Southwestern Texas, as presenting great Inducements for their consideration, In their desire to select new homes for themselves, iu a climate not subect to the great extremes of the Northern Slates. Some of my correspondents are desirous of coming south In hopes of repairing their health, some to engage lu stock raising and others again to Invest In lands, with a view to prolit in the new future in their enhanced valu, under the stimulus ot fast completing railroads, and tho liillux of a northern and uiore energetic and progressive element in our population.

Now, If I was to tell you of TIIR KXPKUIKNt or NoMB INVALIDS III this climate that have come under my own observation lu the past two years, 1 fear 1 would bo looked upon by some at least of your readers as a laud agent, or III the employ uf land agents but 1 can assure you I have neither land stock or anything else to sell, and have no Interest whatever to subserve iu answering the numerous letters I have received making these Inquiries. I traveled last February with a gentleman from Graeiisbtirg, l'eiitisylvanla, who told me that he came to han Antonio at the earnest solid. Utlou of his wife, and when he left his home iu September, 175, that he was so feeble from lung trouble that they carried him from his bedriHim to his carriage, and he beiured ol them to let him slay at home the few tat he bad to live. He had been confined to bis room all the previous winter, and he told me when I ui left home he had no expectations of ever living long enough to see Texas. In reiirtiary last we traveled together on the Klo t.

ramie, and lie could sleep on the ground rolled up In his blanket, and eat bis rations with as much satisfaction as any of the party and v. lien I last saw him, In lie tooneu as ir he was good for years yet. One of my neighbors here, a Dr. Siocuni, Is the only man I ever knew who O0T AHEAD Or A Lira INSl ltANtt: COM- pamt and loved to enjoy It- He was living la a annually, there does not seem to be much reason to fear a surplus. And more than this, the high price of range lands, long, dreary winters, and heavy expense of feed, are all combining to lessen the number rf sheep every year raised in the Northern States.

Adverse legislation ic regard to the use of the unoccupied lands in California is having the same ellect there. At least liny California wool growers have left California in the past eighteen months, and come to Southwestern Texas. HAS PUOVEN, beyond a douut, that Southwestern Texas, from the Guadaloupe to the Kio Grand' possesses a climate and natural adaptation of soil and grasses better suited to the business of wool growing than any other part of the United States. Iu Illinois alone you have about one million less sheep than you had ten years ago, with about the same Tailing off in other Northern fetates. We can raise wool here at 12 cents per pound and then hare all our incrnue for clear prolit w-liere is the Northern Stale that can coin pete with these figures So that hen that almost universal lest or question is applied to the business of sheen husbandry it Texas, ill it 1'ay." 1 he answer can very truth fully be given "It most certainly will."
