SOME of the old time American cour-
age and back bone appears in President
Hsrrison's ultimaum to Germany, pub
lished in the telegraph today. The
document reads like those that come to
us from revolutionary times. There is no
vacilliating, no weaked kneed policy.
Neither is there bluff or braggadocio.
The president says in so many words

pork or | will exercise the authority

German commerce" King Wilhelm will

THIRTY YEARS PRACTICE.
& Letter from sn Eminent Physlcisa.

Mr.. EDITOR: At the risk OF indorsing pro
prietsry preparation, 1 have a few words IN
favor OF a new laxative principle. But first,
how came to discover i. A patient asked
about taking joys Vegetable Sorsapsrilla. AS
sarsaparillss usually contain mercury or iodides
l objected, and asked Tor the formula, which
finding purely vegetable, and so mid as 10 be to
my mind almost iner5 consented. Imagine
my establishment when perfect laxative sction
was reported. 1t has two great points. First,
being purely vegetable, it is (unlike mercury
not cumulative in the system, being easily cay
NED of by the digestive processes; and second,
it is effective with less quantity of the cothar
tic principle than hiss hitherto been attsinable.
il in this respect ranks as q discovery, and ap-
proaches the ideal, viz: the least medicine coli
sistent with the greatest good. As people take
iaxatives unfortunately, it is important for
them TO know at least one that is safe for con-
hnuOus use; hence this communication. The
natural laxative effects of this preparation must
for the reasons aboys interest both the public
and the profession.
