Reliable Testimony.

Where testimonials give the residence of
the parties 1t IS an easy matter for any per-
son 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 PIqOS-
PHATE SOAP for common toilet use. A
great many peop have tested this soap r
skin diseases. Among others we give the
following from parties who have thoroughly
tested PHOSPHATE SOAP:
OAKLAND, Cal. April 5, $780,
STANDARD SOAP OMPASY-GENTs:
Some two or three months ago, | had boy
about two years old that had suffered for a
year with severe eruption on the head and
face, caused by teethiDg. The child was in
such misery that it would often e awakened
out of sleep by the severe itching. He
would then cratch 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 ofthe di ease since.
MICHAEL KANE No. iC6S Kirkham st.

Though Old Mr.. Fogy has long questioned
women's fitness to practice law, and her
opinions concerning legal matters, no one
has ever questioned her opinion concerning
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. For
women freely affirm that the Prescription is
positive cure for those dragging down
sensations, and the many diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to their sex. The Favorite
Prescription is sold by all druggists under a
positive guarantee.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 14th, 1879.
DR.. X. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear Sr:-I Twas treated by four different
physicians without avail for disease of the
liver and uterus. Some time ago l CON-
menced the use Of your Favorite Prescrip-
tion and Discovery, being at the time, con-

my improvement was slow but l now find
myself well after the use OF four bottles OF
each of the medicines. With many, many

Artificial Diamonds.

A great deal has been said lately of
the discovery of a method of making
diamonds. At first the discovery was
denied, and lastly it was declared true,
that something that behaved like a
diamond had really been made. 1t was
a pure crystal; it would cut sapphire;
it split like diamond; and burned like
diamond.
The chemist who has succeeded in
making these diamonds is J. B. Hanny.
of Glasgow, Scotland, and his process
may be briefly described. A hydro
carbon gas-that is, gas compound of
hydrogen and carbon-is forced under
enormous pressure into very strong
iron tube about four inches in dame
ter, and having bore of only one inch.
Chemicals containing nitrogen that
have tendency to combine with the
nitrogen, and thus leave the carbon
free, are placed in the tube with the
gas. Under great pressure and at a
red heat, this is said to take place, and
on breaking the tube open, the pure
carbon is found as minute crystals on
the inside of the tube.
These crystals are the artificial dia-
monds. They are very small; it takes
a long time and much labor and money
to make them, and they are of no value
whatever as diamonds.
They are too small to be of any use,
and if any young gentleman thinks
that when the time comes for him to
buy an engagement ring he can get an
artificial diamond cheap, the poor girl
will be dead, or married to another
man, before that day appears.
This is tho whole of the matter-dia-
monds can be made, but it's not worth
while to make them.

A Free Press.

The beautiful idea of getting some
thing for nothing is nowhere more
readily traceable than in newspaper
office.
SO much has been spoken, written
and sung about ''free press" that peo-
ole have come to accept the term in a
sense altogether too literal.
If man has scheme of any kind
germinating he just steps into the edi-
torial room and details it, with the re-
mark, II am not quite ready to adver-
tise yet, but few words will help me
along" He gets few words and never
gets ready to advertise.
Two tickets admitting lady and gent
to the &c. h. X. M. T. IS grand ball" are
expected to produce six-line local
and a quarter of column description
of the ladies' toilets after the ball is
over
Church fairs and the like are worse
than balls. They never leave tickets,
but they demand more space. because
''it's matter of news, and help to the
cause"
Should boy saw off his finger. "Dr-
G. o. Plaster dressed the wound with
great SKILL" would be graceful way
of stating it, and, besides, it is "unpro-
fessional' to advertise.
The patent rat-trap man brings in
one of his combinations of wire and
moidy cheese bait, sticks it under the
editors nose and explains how they
catch 'em every time the spring works
It's something of interest to the COM
munity, and if you put in q piece. save
me a dozen papers" which he quietly
walks off with, as though he had be-
slowed favor in allowing editorial
eyes to gaze on such q marvel of in
tricacy.
An invitation "to come down aud
write up our establishment" is great
deal more common than a two square
lad" from the same firm. Newspapers
must be filed up with something or
other, you know.
The lawyer. with strong prejudices
against advertising, is fond of seeing
his cases reported in full in the news
papers, with an occasional reference to
his exceedingly able manner of con-
Quoting the same. 1t is cheaper than
advertising.
In fact everybody, from to lizard,
who has an Ak to grind, asks the news
paper to turn the crank, and forgets to
even say thank you, but will kindly
take free copy of the paper as part
pay for furnishing news.
The press being "free," all hands
seem bound to get aboard and ride to
death. That is why newspapers are 80
rich that they can afford to pay double
price for white paper, and never ask

Quick Cure for Poison Oak.

A few months ago an eminent physician
who had tested the remarkable curative
qualities of Phosphate Seap for various skin
diseases expressed his belief that it would be
an excellent remedy for Poison Oak. 1t was
accordingly tested for this purpose. A boy
had been SO badly poisoned as to be confined
to his bed for week, and had his hands all
covered with sores when he began to use
Phosphate Soap. Within twenty-four hours
he was greatly relieved and in few days he
was entirely cured of Poison Oak by the use
Of Phosphate Soap.

THE BEST soap fc

it contains all the ex
the most expensive
American soaps without
fects. BEST because it c.
strength with delicacy in S,
way that its strong defensive q.
ties do not injure the skin. Be-
because it is the result Of years Q.
study and experiment in the soap
manufacturing business, assisted
by modern chemical discoveries.
BEST because it contains ingredi-
ents beneficial to the skin, which
unite chemically with the soap
in such manner as to increase
its saponaceous qualities. Every
chemist familiar with soap manu-
Hacture knows that some ingredt-
ents which are in themselves bene-
fetal to the skin cannot be saponl-
fed some are partially neutralized,
while others injure the quality OF
the soap. There are soaps in the
market which are to some extent
beneficial to the skin, but they are
inferior articles for toilet use.
PHOSPHATE SOAP is the ONLY
article offered to the public which
combines all the best clements OF
toilet soap with medical ingredi-
ents beneficial to the skin.
