An Interesting Description of an Oriental
Camphor Factory.
Camphor is made in Japan in .his way
After tree is felled it is cut up into
chips, which are laid in a tub, or o large
iron pot partly filed with water and
placed over slow fire. Through holes
in the bottom of the tub steam slowly
rises, and heating the chips generates Oil
and camphor. OF course, the tubs W, \
the chips has a closely fitting cover.
From this cover bamboo pipe leads
to a succession of other tubs with BAN
boo connections, and the last of these
tubs is divided into two compartments,
one above the other, the dividing floor be-
ing perforated with small holes to allow
the water and the oil TO pass to the lower
compartment The upper compartment
Is supplied with a straw layer, which
catches aud holds the camphor in crystal
IN deposit as it passes to the cooling
process. The camphor ia then separated
from the straw and packed in wooden
tubs and is ready for market. The oil is
used by the natives for illuminating and
medical purposes.

THE RESULT OF MERIT

When anything stands test of fifty
years among discriminating people, It
Is pretty good evidence that there is mer-
1t somewhere. Few, if any, med icines
have met with such continued success and
popularity as has marked the progress OF
BRANDRErH's PMS, which, after a trial of
over fifty years, are conceded TO be the
safest and most eflectual blood purifier,
tonic and Alternative ever introduced to
the public.
That this is the result of merit, and
that BRANDRErH's PuLs perform all that
Is claimed for them, is conclusivelv
proved by the TACT that those who regard
them with the greatest favor are those
who have used them the longest
BRASnEETu's Puus are sold in every
