THIRTY YEARS PRACTICE.
L Letter from an Eminent Physician.

Mr.. EDITOR: At the risk of indorsing pro-
prietary preparation, I have few words in
favor of a new laxative principle. But first,
how came to discover it. A patient asked
about taking joys Vegetable Sarsaparille. AZ
sarsaparillas usually contain mercury or iodidet
1 objected, and asked for the formula, which
finding purely vegetable, and SO mild as to be tc
my mind almost inert, consented. Imagine
my astonfshment 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 discovery, and ap
proaches the ideal, viz. 1.-The least medicine con
sistent with the greatest good. AS people TAXI
laxatives indiscriminately, 1t is important foi
them to know at least one that is safe for con
tiuuous use; hence this conf nj cation. Tho
naturaflaxatiye effects of this Preparation must
for the reasons above, interest both the public
and the profession.

Observation-Disclosures Ross has
succeeded in capturing and getting
confessions from the boys who have
been burning barns in Salem recently,
eight having been burned by them.
The boys are Tommy Townsend, aged
IL; Walter Tasker, aged Is, and Dick
Ely, aged 9. They burned the barns
for fun, being anxious to see the ex-
,citement of engines making a run. 1t
was decided to give the boys no pun
ishment, being so young and not re-
alizing the enormity of the crime, and
they were given in the custody of their
parents for punishment. The other
boys say that Townsend hired them TO
do the work, paying 10 cents for one
job, 20 for another, and a white rabbit
for third.

CONTRACT AWARDED.-D. c. Schell,
Of Albany, was awarded the contract
for constructing the state reform school
building near Salem, for $26.5OO.
Certain conditions were imposed, how
ever, which prevented him from accept
ing the contract. The chief trouble is
that the amount is considerably in ex-
cess of the amount appropriated for
that purpose, and the contractor would
have to advance some $4,000 and await
the action of the legislature for his
money. The contract has since been
re-let to G. A. Stevens, of Salem, who
will begin work at once.

The wormy apple has again made its
appearance in the market, and what is
worse, they meet with ready sale at
present. Sound apples are preferable,
of course, bst so long as there is a
market for the infested fruit, it is need
less to advise the farmers to either
take care of their orchards or cut them
down. We do not blame the farmers
so much for selling such fruit as long
as they can find people who are able
and willing to nibbEe the apple from
around such fine specimens OF Goblin
moth as the Oregon fruit produces.
