THIRTY YEARS PRACTICE.
A Letter from an Eminent Physician

Mr.. EDITOR: At the risk of indorsing a pro-
prietary preparation, have a few words in
favor of a new laxative principle. But first,
how came to discover it. A patient asked
about taking joys Vegetable sarsaparilla. As
sarsaparllas usually contain mercury or iodides
I objected, and asked for the formula, which
finding purely vegetable and SO mild as to be to
my mind almost inert, consented. Imagine
my establishment when perfect laxative action
was reported. 1t has two great points. First,
being purely vegetable, it is (unlike mercury
not cumulative in the system, being easily car
ried off by the digestive processes; and second,
it is effective with less quantity of the cathar-
tic principle than has hitherto been attainable.
1t in this respect ranks as a discovery and ap-
proaches the ideal, viz: the least medicine con.
sistent with the greatest good. AS people take
laxatives Unfortunately, it is important for
them to know at least one that is safe for con-
tinuous use; hence this communication. The
natural laxative effects of this preparation must
for the reasons above, interest both the public
and the profession

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

EDITORS HERALD-Is the alleged "cen-
sus" of our people really completed? If
so, it is humbug and a delusion. No
enumerator has as yet shown up in our
vicinity, and as the tax collectors and
assessors never fail to find us, it would
seem as if the census" takers might do
as we'll if they tried.
