Coat Nothing If it Fails.
Any honest person who suffers with
Rheumatism is authorized to go to their
druggist today and get a bottle of Para
camph, use as directed, and if it fails to
do exactly what we claim, go back to
their druggist and get their money. Par
acamph is recommended as a modern
scientific treatment for all Rheumatic
Swellings and Neuralgic troubles. It re
lieves on Nature’s plan. That is when
applied it opens the pores, penetrates
directly to the seat of the ailment soothing
the inflamed skin, musclea and joints re
ducingt he swelling by removing the con
gestion, drawing out the fever and inflam
mation by inducing sweating. It sweats
the disease out of the body through
the pores of the skin. This is why Para
camph is superior to the many internal
strong, drastic drugs that upset the stom
ach, shatter the nerves, and undermiue
the general health. Our guarantee is
made to convince you of our faith in Par
acamph. We have of course, tested its
merits thoroughly iu many and various
cases. We know therefore exactly what
it will do. So don’t hesitate, but get a
bottle of Paracamph today, and after two
or three applications you will be convinced
v that we claim only for Paracamph exactly
what it will do.
Paracamph is sold ouly in as cent, 50
eent and fi .00 bottles. The larger sizes
are cheaper for family use. Write for

“I was afflicted with heart trouble for
three years. I would be apparently all
right, and without a moment's warning
would fall ns though shot. The attacks
were frequent, and a terrible dread pos
sessed me. as I never knew when or
where, nor under what conditions I
would bo attacked, and whether I would
survive them. 1 consulted and was
treated by some of the most eminent
filivsielans of the state. Not finding re
lef from this source, I began taking
Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure, and began
to Improve at once. I used ten bottles,
which entirely cured me, as I have not
had an attack for five years,”—MRS.

California’s attraction are!
mostly of its own kind, peculiar
to its kind and of none]is this so
emphatically true as that unique
product, the big trees. The age
of these colossi is from 1,500 to
2,000 years. !
The Mariposa grove, which
can be visited while en route
to the Yosemite, contains some
of the largest. In the'.Calaveras
grove are from ninety to one
hundred of huge size. Near
Santa Cruz is a beautiful grove
of redwood big trees, which will
well employ a day’s pleasant visit.
These can be best reached by the
Union Pacific, whose fast trains
from Missouri river reach Cali
fornia 16 hours ahead of all com

INDEPENDENT’S '
BABY CONTEST.
Here is the proposition and the
rules governing the contest:
There is a handsome $25.00
solid gold locket with diamond
setting and solid gold chain, on
display at the Palace Jewelry
o IVI Uj w giv v>u u n u,y r/vwiii
ber 24th, 1904, to the baby boy
or girl under two years of age,
who wins the highest number of
votes as the prettiest and sweet
est baby. Now the baby that is
not pretty is surely sweet, and
if the wee tot be a little cross at
times, beauty must offset this
badness. Fond parents at least
are expected to think their ba
| bies are both sweet and beauti
ful, and so they do. But to set
tle once for all the claims of the
under two, and put at rest this
rivalry of mothers and fathers,
| the Independent has inaugurated
a contest that is to be determined
by that cherished right, popular
| ballot, and in accordance with
' the following rules:

No. 933 Mission St., San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 9, 1903. ■
I am happy and pleased to attest to the value of Wine of Cardui for proa- B
fective mothers. 1 took it for three months before my darling baby came and B
suffered so little pain I felt I was an exception. The child is happy and B
healthy and the sunshine of my life. I had hardly any trouble after she was B
born, and after eleven days was up doing my entire housework and feeling B
better than I had felt for years. 1 am the envy of my neighbors because of the B
unusually healthy child I have and bpeause 1 never had a sick day myself. 1 B
give the entire credit to Wine of Card.ui, jfl
for I was sickly, pale and thin before I took ^ y B
it, but since I have used it I have been in *• ■
perfect health, have gained fourteen Vice-President, B

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Riano
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda'
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball Bystem and easy payment plan brings it within reacn of all. ;
