Show Envelopes were first used in 1839. --- A MERITED COMPLIMENT. A short time since Mr. J. S. Phillips, M. E., presented to the California Academy of Sciences a copy of the new edition of his "Explorers, Miners and Metallurgists Companion." This being a California literary production, it was given to a committee for examination. At the last meeting of the Academy, Dr. A. B. Stout reported for this committee. He highly extolled the book, peaking of it as in every sense a practical, carefully-written treatise on the subjects to which it is devoted. He called particular attention to the soundness of the views expressed in the preliminary chapters, with relation to the formation of the earth, and to the careful and lucid manner in which the novel theories advanced by the author were explained. His remarks on the more practical portion of the book relating to assaying, prospecting, testing, etc. were highly complimentary to the author. The work as a whole being commended as one of the few complete technical treatises published in this State, and relating specially to the industry which made California what she is, was one which should be in the hands of all miners and metallurgists on the coast. Dr. Stout also highly commended the various apparatus for prospectors' use in assaying, etc. invented by Mr. Phillips and described in the book, he having examined the appliances and seen assays made with them - Mining and Scientific Press. --- CONSUMPTION CURED.

I am of the opinion that it is the mildest and most perfect detergent that can be used, either for cleansing the skin and leaving it soft and healthy, or for removing the fetor and corroding influences of sores and ulcerations. I should be sorry to be without it in shaving my face or making my toilet, to say nothing of my good opinion of its remedial qualities. A.J. Spencer, M.D. San Francisco, July 19, 1897 1879. Standard Soap Co. - Gentlemen: The ladies of my household, four in number, unite with me in pronouncing your Phosphate soap the best ever tried for toilet use. It is noticeable that while it readily removes impurities from the skin, it also leaves undisturbed the natural oil so essential to the health. It is not too strong language to say that we are delighted with it. C. M. Sawtelle, M.D., 120 Capp street. San Francisco, July 19, 1879. Standard Soap Co. - Gents.: I have tried your Phosphate Soap, and have no hesitation in saying that it is the best toilet soap I ever used. My wife has used it and is of the same opinion. I have paid as high as fifty cents per cake for an article in every respect inferior to what you sell for twenty-five cents. Henry H. Lynch, 516 Haight Street.
