Show Doctor to nervous patient: "What! You are afraid of being buried before life is extinct? Nonsense! You take what I prescribe, and drive such foolish notions out of your head. Such a thing never happens with my patients." It is no more possible for an idle man to keep together a certain stock of knowledge, than it is possible to keep together a certain stock of ice exposed to the meridian sun. Every day destroys a fact, a relation or an inference; and the only method of preserving the bulk and value of the pile is by constantly adding to it. - Smith. Half of the youthful viciousness of the day, at least, is due to two causes: Flash publications and indecent shows. Shop-windows are filled with vile photographs, and the Boys' Weekly Poisoner and the Girls' Own Contaminator, and these things are permitted to enter many homes. A large proportion of the attendance at the lewd "dives," or "variety shows," is of boys. No wonder young minds are palsied by vice, and young souls started on the straight and broad road to hell. - S. F. (San Francisco) Alta. Remember the printer wants his pay even if the amount you owe him is small. The young milkman and his girl stood before the justice of the peace. "You take this milk - ahem! - this man for butter or for worse?" the mighty man of the law inquired. The girl said it never a-curd to her before, but she supposed she would if that was the only whey. "I Don't Want that Stuff," Is what a lady of Boston said to her husband when he brought home some medicine to cure her of sick headache and neuralgia which had made her miserable for fourteen years. At the first attack thereafter, it was administered to her with such good results that she continued its use until cured, and was so enthusiastic in its praise, that she induced twenty two of the best families in her circle to adopt it as their regular family medicine. That "stuff" is Hop Bitters. - Standard. 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 (Gentlemen) Some two or three months ago, I had a boy about two years old that had suffered for a year with a severe skin 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. (Number) 1008 Kirkham St. (Street). Fort Verde, Arizona, Dec. (December) 12, 1879. Standard Soap Company - Gents (Gentlemen). Having received your box of Phosphate Soap, and having used only one cake of Soap out of 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 (Gentlemen). 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. The Secret Told. Nobody told, for nobody knew, How sweetly the pure little violet grew; How it came through the earth and the frost and the dew, And lifted its head to the heavens so blue. Nobody told, for nobody knew, Why perfect good health should gladden so few; While thousands who long something noble to do, Are bowed down by sickness their whole lives through. Somebody told for everyone knew, The wonders Safe Kidney and Liver Cure do; In bringing pure health to the body anew, And saving from death many noble and true. Cures Cuts, Scalds, Burns and Bruises.

If the crabbed old bachelor who uttered this sentiment could but witness the intense thought, deep study and thorough investigation of women determining the best medicines to keep their families well, and would note their sagacity and wisdom in selecting Hop Bitters as the best, and demonstrating it by keeping their families in perpetual health, at a mere nominal expense, he would be forced to acknowledge that such sentiments are baseless and false. - Picuyune.

Phosphate Soap (Illustration of soap) A superb article for the toilet, beneficial to the skin, giving it a soft, velvety appearance, and leaving a soothing, pleasant sensation after use, imparting a healthy, natural and lasting beauty to the complexion. It eradicates the poisonous effects of cosmetics; preventing skin diseases by acting as a constant purifier and disinfectant; if used constantly will cure skin diseases of long standing; is superior to any further article for bathing infants; cleansing and healing for all eruptions on the scalp or face of children; good for the teeth; produces a soft, creamy lather, nicely adapted to shaving or shampooing, removes dandruff, and gives health to the scalp without injuring the hair. The genuine merits of Phosphate Soap and persistent advertising will force every druggist, groceryman and general dealer to order it by the gross sooner or later. Ask for it in every store. The retail price is 25 cents per cake. We wish to sell it only at wholesale, but in case you cannot find it we will send a nice box of three cakes by mail, on receipt of 85 cents in stamps. Not only for daily use on the face and hands but for bathing the entire body, there is nothing equal to Phosphate Soap. It is a thorough disinfectant and removes offensive odors of every kind. (Illustration of soap) 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 agents of the kind that we have used. S. F. (San Francisco) Medico-Literary Journal. No salve or ointment can heal a wound or sore of any kind. Every educated physician will tell you that nature alone can do this. Phosphate Soap, by its cleansing, soothing and purifying quantities gives nature a chance to act freely. It is an old proverb that an ounce of preventive is better than 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. Phosphate Soap (Illustration of soap) Testimonials: 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 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). To the Standard Soap Company. San Francisco, July 17, 1879 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. Oakland, Cal. (California) Aug. (August) 1, 1879, Standard Soap Co. (Company) - 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 costs no more than other good toilet soaps while its medicinal qualities make it worth ten times its price to every man, woman and child. Standard Soap Co. (Company), Sacramento St. (Street), S. F. (San Francisco), Cal. (California). |
