Show WHAT HE DIDN'T BREAK. - Rev. Mr. Genn[unreadable] fell down stairs last Sunday morning with a flower vase in one hand, a pitcher of water in the other, a lamp globe under his arm and a china saucer tucked in his coat pocket. He was trying to carry all these things down stairs and he succeeded. But when he got them to the bottom and his anxious wife screamed from the head of the stairs to know if he had broken anything, he took an account of stock and calmly reported that he had "broken everything but the Sabbath." "The only thing," petulantly commented his careful and economical wife, "that we could afford to break." Absence destroys trifling intimacies, but it invigorates strong ones. Times are so prosperous that no organ-grinder who respects his position will now accept anything less than a quarter. You may drop a penny into his hat, if you wish. He will not throw it away, but he will not say "Thank you" for any sum less than a 25-cent piece with milled edges. Profit, $1,200. "To sum it up, six long years of bed ridden sickness, costing $200 per year, total $1,200 - all this expense was stopped by three bottles of Hop Bitters, taken by my wife. She has done her own housework for a year since without the loss of a day, and I want everybody to know it, for their benefit." N.E. Farmer. Reliable Testimony. Where testimonials give the residence of the parties it is an easy matter for any person to verify them. Thousands of people from all parts of the Pacific Coast can and have expressed the opinion that there is no other article in the world equal to PHOSPHATE SOAP for common toilet use. A great many people have tested this soap for skin diseases. Among others we give the following from parties who have thoroughly tested Phosphate Soap: Oakland, Cal. [California], April 5, 1880. Standard Soap Company-Gents: Some two or three months ago, I had a boy about two years old that had suffered for a year with a severe eruption on the head and face, caused by teething. The child was in such misery that it would often be awakened out of sleep by the severe itching. He would then scratch his head and face until the blood ran from the scabs. We tried everything we could find, but nothing seemed to give any permanent relief until we tried PHOSPHATE SOAP. Before we had used one cake, the child's head and face were entirely healed, and there has been no appearance of the disease since. Michael Kane No. 1068 Kirkham St. Fort Verde, Arizona, Dec. 12, 1879. Standard Soap Company-Gents: Having received your box of Phosphate Soap, and having used only one cake of Soap out of the three, I am happy to say that it has completely cured my sore eyelids which was caused by the alkali dust in Idaho Territory, in 1877, and have been sore ever since until I used PHOSPHATE SOAP. Corporal Dennis Burke, Twelfth Infantry. San Francisco, November 27, 1879. Standard Soap Company-Gents: After a number of trials of soaps, I have learned that the PHOSPHATE is certainly the very best for shaving. I thank you for its introduction. James P. Arthur. Modesty. Modesty is to a woman what the delicate bloom is to the peach - its greatest beauty but once gone, no human power can restore it. Many modest women suffer in silence for years with the most painful affections of the delicate vital organs of the body, rather than to impart the knowledge of their sufferings to a physician.

[illustration of a tin of Phosphate Soap with words "trade mark" written across a buckled belt] If your wife is in the habit of using cosmetics of any kind, advise her to give up the pernicious practice, as the most harmless face powders obstruct the pores of the skin and sooner or later injure the complexion, while Phosphate Soap removes all impurities and assists nature in developing a natural, healthy and beautiful skin. If your wife will persist in the use of cosmetics buy her a cake of Phosphate Soap and tell her to use it every night before sleeping. In that way much of the harm will be avoided, as the skin will thereby be able to retain much of its natural vigor and beauty. It is an old proverb that an ounce of preventive is better than a pound of cure. Twenty-five cents invested in a cake of Phosphate Soap will save hundreds of dollars in doctors' bills. It acts as a constant disinfectant, preventing Salt Rheum and other skin diseases. Thousands of articles are palmed off on the public which have no genuine merit, but Phosphate Soap is the result of modern discoveries of celebrated chemists. To the Standard Soap Company. San Francisco, July 19, 1887?. Standard Soap Co. [company]-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, Aug. [August] 27, 1879? Gentlemen: I received a package of your soap (Phosphate Soap) and it gives me great pleasure to testify as to its superior excellence. As a toilet soap I have never seen anything to surpass it. It also possesses superior remedial qualities. I have used it in two cases of obstinate skin disease, one of intolerable itching, Pruritus?, the other an Eczema. In both great relief was obtained. Its emollient properties are remarkable. Respectfully, W. A. Douglass, M.D. 126 O'Farrell St. [street] Oakland, Cal. Aug 1, 1879. Standard Soap Co. - Gentlemen: We have been giving your Phosphate Soap a pretty fair trial, and we like it the best of any soap for toilet use that we have found on this Coast. We have little doubt that it will meet with universal favor. Mrs. R. R. Johnston, 1016 Kirkham street. We have used the Phosphate Soap in our practice, for cleaning indolent ulcers, and also skin diseases, pimples and eruptions of the face, so often seen in the young of both sexes, and can heartily recommend it to the public as the most remedial agent of the kind that we have used.-S. F. [San Francisco?] Medico-Literary Journal. PHOSPHATE SOAP .
