Show A PAPER MILL -- A pugilistic encounter between two editors. <br><br> THE LADIES FAVORITE. Among the many thousands of ladies who have used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and pronounced it their favorite remedy, because so efficient in the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women, are many who are well and favorably known in the world of letters, as well as artists, musicians, and a whole host of names from the brilliant ranks of wealth and fashion. It is pre-eminently the ladies Favorite Prescription, its use, while being far more safe and efficient, exempting them from those painful, caustic operations, and the wearing of those mechanical contrivances made like Peter Plader's razor sellers razors to sell, rather than to cure. -- KILLMORE, Ind., March 20th, 1878. Dr. R. V. Pierce. Dear Sir - Your Favorite Prescription has restored me to perfect health. Yours truly, Grace Choate, 123 Eutaw Street, BALTIMORE, Md. --- June 10th, 1878. Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y. Dear Sir - My wife was a hopeless invalid for nearly 20 years. Your Favorite Prescription has cured her. Thankfully yours. R. T. McCay. <br><br> NO ALUM! NO ADULTERATION! C. J. Hawley & Co.'s strictly pure Grape Cream of Tarter Yeast Powder. On application a sample will be mailed to your address, postage paid, that you may compare our Yeast Powder with others. To test yeast powder put one-half of a teaspoonful in a goblet half full of cold water. The pure powder will efferverce until dissolved, leaving the water clear, while the adulterated will not. You cannot be too careful about these adulterations, it is too late to think of it after the harm is done. Insist upon your grocer ordering C. J. Hawley & Co.'s Yeast Powder. Send for our new Catalogue. C. J. Hawley & Co., Grocers, 215 and 217 Sutter Street, San Francisco. <br><br> MINES AND MINERS Are of little value unless the receipts exceed the expenditures. The Robertson Process enables parties to make money in mines where they could not otherwise pay expenses. The means used to extract the gold and silver from ores is very simple and effective. The fact that some parties denounce it who know nothing of its working is in its favor. John A. Robertson, P. O. Box 552?, Oakland, Cal. [California], owns the patent. <br><br> Parties who wish to buy groceries at a reasonable price from an old, reliable and well known firm will do well to read the price list of Starboro & Co., in another place. <br><br> From the Quaker City. E. J. Campbell, of Philadelphia, under date of Oct. 4, 1879, certified to the wonderful efficacy of Warner's Safe Pills and Safe Tonic in removing a liver disease accompanied by chronic constipation and yellow skin. <br><br> Gothe [Goethe] once presented a set of his works to Harvard Library a fact which has just been brought to light in the process of recataloguing [recataloging] the German literature of the Library. <br><br> BEAUTIFIERS. Ladies, you cannot make fair skin, rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes with all the cosmetics of France, or beautifiers of the world, while in poor health, and nothing will give you such good health, strength, buoyant spirits and beauty as Hop Bitters. A trial is certain proof. <br><br> DENTISTRY. Go to Dr. Cochrane, 850 Market street, San Francisco, if you want first-class work at low rates.

[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. 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 qualities, gives nature a chance to act freely. Ladies who have injured the skin by the constant use of cosmetics may do much to restore their faces to that beauty which nature alone can give by constantly using Phosphate Soap. If you wish to make your hands soft buy a cake of Phosphate Soap, and when that is gone you will buy a dozen and recommend your friends do the same. 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. Sensible girls avoid cosmetics but use Phosphate Soap for the toilet because it is fragrant, pure and pleasant. Testimonials. San Jose, September 21, 1879. To the Standard Soap Co.BGentlemen, It affords me pleasure to say to the public that I have used and prescribed your Phosphate Soap as a remedy in various forms of cutaneous diseases with the happiest results. 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, Aug. 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, Prurius, the other an Eczema. In both great relief was obtained. Its emollient properties are remarkable. Respectfully, W. A. Douglass, M. D. 120 O=Farrell St. to the Standard Soap Company. San Francisco, July 12 1879. Standard Soap Co.BGentlemen: 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.BGents 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, 615 Haight Street. 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, postage paid, on receipt of 85 cents in stamps.
