A Fortunate druggist.

Mr.. Edwin W. Joy for many years and now q
prosperous druggist on the corner of Stockton and
Market streets in San Francisco, probably never
dreamed of rivaling in wealth the medicine kings
of the country. But various rumorS having been
floating around to the effect that he has struck it
big, an Examiner reporter was detailed to unearth
the cause, and after much difficulty uuravelled
the following story:
Itseens that about seven years ago an English
physician a great student of botany, located for q
brief season in this city. His practice wasnot ex-
tensive, and yet the few cases of general nature
that came to him attracted no little attention His
greatest success seemed to be in the treatment of
liver and kidney disorders and vitisted blood. In
fact his ability to cope with these common COM
plants was little short of the marvellous. He
seemed almost infallible, and his quiet, modest
methods and his well kept secret was as much a
mystery as himself After his departure about q
year later Mr. Joy determined to fathom the secret.
and copying all the prescriptions he had filled for
the erratic doctor, ho began systematic analysis.
In his examination no discovered running all
through the prescriptions for liver and kidney
troubles, vitiated blood and stomach disorders n
couple of vegetable extracts indigenous to Califor
MIA SO simple and so we'll known under homely
every day names 10 every school boy as to entirely
dissipate the suspicion that they were the active
principles involved. So certain, however, was
Mr. Joy that he had discovered the secret that he
embodied the new elements in a preparation of
Sarsaparila to disguise the taste and putt before
his customers under the modest name OF JOY 8
Vegetable Sarsapapilla. Immediately the SAME
marvellous stories came back of its astonishing
effects, and the mystery was solved, and the talk
it has created has already caused it to step into
over the coast. People seem to be taking it and
writing and talking about it throughout the State
And thus another California industry leaps into
existence.-S. +. Examiner

be given his wish. Now there is only a
difference of opinion regarding the way it
shall be done. One plan is for him to
choose eight names, four OF which will be
selected by the assembly. Another plan
contemplates the nomination of four men.
