Mr. Siltiiau of Hums, recommeudx
to our people the advisability of an

horses of lvutern Oregon and IiIhIio.
The races at lluni.i will come oil' in

tho circuit should extend to Walla
Walla, by way of Canyon City, lmg
Creek and I taker. The people of
the John Day valley ought to get a
track in readiness at some point and
have ii few days racing during the fall
mouths, and other hmuU joining
would complete the circuit. There is
money in it for the community that
has enterprise enough to prejHire a
track and get up a purse.

of sage brush and cacti, and ho
fears hydrophobia as a result of tlie

From Professor J. P. I.ooney, Principal
Kulton Public Schools, in I-'ovor
of Drs. Dirrln.
Otrtfoiilin.
Kditor Oregoninn Dear Sir: I
am not in tho habit of puffing ad
vertising doctors, but I cannot let
this opiwrtunity pnss without men
tion, in justice to the nlllietod as
well as Dr. Dnrriu. Tho doctor has
cured mcofa trouhlesomo catarrh
and bronchitis of seven yenrj' stand
ing, by electricity and medicine.
The cure is perfect and permanent,
and I will answer nil letters ml
dressed to mo at Portland.
.1. P. I.oo.vkv.
There is somethinc nbout the suc
cess Prs. Pnrrin nre meetinu with
which is Jruly haul to credit, yet
wo have it from persona whose vor
acity we cannot doubt, that their
curiu are remarkable. Tho ubovo
case is peculiarly striking. Profes
sor Loouey is a man of undoubtful
integrity and wvll known through
out the statu and nation. Tho
nliovoeird nbout Drs. Darrin i'h
IHisitiw proof of (he unexampled
success which attends their treat
ment. It shows how radical nn
well as uin-xiKcti-d, uro many of
their cures, and Imw chronic, diseas
es of many years duration are tilla
ble to resist their .kiil, ami is but
one of the many i-iikm wlil-h tho
doctors hnve uud-ii taken, and is on
ly one of the scores of patiutiU whom
they have redored to h.-alth. Thu
author of the above statein.'nt, wo
have full assurance in saying, was
actuated iu publishing thu same by
no other motive than gratitude foe
his utire and a desire to muko
known the means to others ns un
fortunate as himself. When wo re
flect what a gteat boon h health
when we i onsider that without it
the slightest uppr.noh to happiness
is iniposidbh that it is, in nhorr,
the greatest earilily blesisini; can
we be othi nvise than iiuniensniubly
sui prised to fhd anyone who Iiiih
lost this grvnl tret's irv, nnd hesi
tate to follow a plaiidy dt lltiv d path
loading to itH icv. v ry'.' Tu see a
sick man or woman i olect or re
fuse to visit Dr, Dnrriu. who may
do him or her seme go ui, niol (un
not do harm, i equally an inexpli
cable invsUri'. Try them, at all
events, coinm n shho would sur-
gest. A consultation will cost you
nothing. The do -tors could fill
this page with restMinsible certifi
cates, but thei- in so widespread it
is tinuooossnrv. The doctors treat,
nil chronic diseases at their parlors,
