Fruit Salt is elaboratelv treated upon In this
issue of the Examiner. What is Fruit Sa1t2 1t
is the saline properties of California fruit medi-
cinally applied to the human system.
The rapid growth of the popularity attained
by Slaven's "Californa Fruit Salt naturally ex-
cites interest and creates curiosity which is sat-
isfied by perusal of this issue of the Examiner
People dislike to peruse lengthy explanations,
and desire concise plain statement of any sub
ject in which they are interested This concise
and brief statement we herewith propose to give.
H. B. sLAvEs,
The well-known chemist and proprietor Of the
principal and handsomeet pharmacy and drug
store in San Francisco, conceived the idea of con-
densing the many health giving and sanitary
properties of our much celebrated and luscious
California fruit into a medicinal remedy. That
California fruits do possess remarkable health
promoting properties no one well informed will
question or deny. Therefore, when Mr.. Slaven
decided on this and undertook the experiment,
he de ermined upon a careful analysis of all the
principal food fruits native to this coast-but
more principally and notably the Old Mission
grape; the acidous lime, the juice of which is SO
generally used for anti-scorbutic purposes on the
that peculiarly developed California fruit, the
fig. IN these four fruits, the grape, lime, apricot
and fig, were discovered properties which
LARGELY CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH
Of those who consume them. After careful analy-
sis and. scientific preparation a carthartic salt
was discovered which differed in many charac-
teristics from any medicine now in use, and pos
sessing among others, the following enumerated
properties:
Dxs L JIf-
Second-An excellent, mild cathartc, no as
trngent mineral poisons entering into its COM
position.
Thfrd-A medicine not debiitating or causing
pain, and imparting tone to the system-pro-
ducing pleasant and cheerful effect.
Fourth-Being pleasant to the taste, compara-
lively very inexpensive and portable, and par
ticularly adapted for use OF travellers, its
worth in combating the effects on the system of
climatic changes is isincalculable
In addition to the foregoing, it is an excellent
| tonic, and as such has received the unqualified
INDoRsEMENr OF LEADING PHYSICIANS
| OF this city, as is shown in recon mendations
| published in our advertising columns of this
! issue. Success has crowned the introduction Of
| Fruit Salt into every family where it has found
| its way. Thousands there are of sedentary hab-
| its who have ineyan sought health in patent
| nostrums Of doubtful reputation, who now are
assured and feel satisfied they have discovered in
| the use of Slaven's California Fruit Salt very
| pleasant, safe and effective family medicine. It
| produces no deleterious effects whatever, does
| not debilitate or weaken the system being ex-
| clusivey vegetable in its composition, and en-
tirely devoid of poisonous mineral properties it is
necessarily health-impartng.
| The discoyerer Of the saline, cathartic and in
vigorating medicinal properties in California
| fruits, II. B. Slaven is skilled pharmaceutist,
and after years of careful study as an analytical
| chemist has perfected several very valuable
| medicinal discoveries, which ere now world
wide in their use and very popular, but none are
to be compared for intrinsic merit to the
CALIFORNIA FRUIT SALT.
The Examiner fully ndorses all that has been
said relative to this of our ripe California
| fruit. 1t is meeting with most hearty welcome
| from all portions of the coast where it has been
| introduced In Panama, Central America and
| South America it is used very generally, its
health giving and invigora.iong properties being
highly appreciated, particularly in the tropics
| In conclusion, we might state that as family
| medicine it is Incompatible, and its use seems
| invariably to be attended with the most crafty
! ing of results. 1t is a sovereign remedy for
| headache, constipation and dyspepsia. As a
blood purifier its effects arc marked: its action
on the kidneys is an excellent one it cleanses and
reinvgorates the liver, and toward all the organs
of the body its tendency is to restore them to q
condition of public health. Each half-pound
bottle of the Fruit Salt contains about forty doses
| and its price is nominal, putting this excellent
remedy within the reach of all.
In fine, this discovery of ii. B. Slaven is one
of the grandest triumphs of California skill, and
while it is, as he richly deserves it to be, pecun
iarly beneficial to its discoverer, it is certainly
laurel upon the brow of our young State. being 6
