Important Points About 'Purifne," The
Great DEinfoCtant


In these enlightened DAYS of the nine.
teenth century it is an acknowledged
fact that IAN ounce of prevention is
worth a pound Of cure" and that ounce
of prevention was never better exempli-
fed than in the use of the great disin-
fectant known as "Purifine." The public
has had many disinfectants brought to
their attenti n. Some we're good, some
were bad, and some were simply lndif-
ferent, hut none ever vet placed on the
market combined all the many good
qualities of "Purifine.' In the first place
it was left to the manufacturers of
"Purifine" to compound disinfectant
and antiseptic that would be odorless, a
most important matter las users CT disin.'
fectants well know that the odor of the
disinfectant. especially when in constant
use, becomes sickcning and disagreeable,
oftentimes as much SO as the odor or
smell to be killed.
In word, "Purifine" is odorless, and
It's work, removal, not creating one odor
to cover another. 1t comes in highly
concentrated form, and when diluted
with two parts water there is not the
slightest odor, rendering it suitable for
places where food is kept. In the bath
room, sleeping room or about the house
generally it is indispensable.
Then again it is non-poisonous, an all
important feature, for if used carelessly
by children or servants there are no
harmful results, and it is absolutely safe
to have around the house.
AS sample of its harmlessness it can
even be used in in refrigerators, and, if
accidently spilled no harm is done, and
it is particularly adapted for this use
The uses for which "Purifine" is used are
almost limitless, and to enumerate them
would fill pages of The Post. For flush.
ing sewers. and for cleansing sinks
drains, barns, urinals, water closets,
floor cloths and the bed clothes from
sickness or infection it is invaluable.
Then again the price is SO low that il
can be used lavishly, and for hospitals,
asylums, public buildings, hotels, rcstau.
rants, school rooms, laundries, diaries,
markets, stables, packing houses and
canneries where a disinfectant is used in
large quantities, this is point to be
considered. One gallon is used TO a bar
rel of water, and for general use one
tablespoonful to pint of water.
"Purifine" is sure prevt ntive against
cholera, la grippe, small pox, diphtheria
all fevers and contagious diseases.
AS an antiseptic and healer "Purifine'
is invaluble, for it relieves and cures
sore throat, catarrh, stings and bites OF
insects, burns and scalds. chilblains, sore
eyes, pimples, and for the bath it is a
delightful adjunct. 1t will instantly
stop any flow of blood. and physicians
will understand It's full value from its
principal constituents, bromine anG

Heavy Seizure at San Francisco.
JSan Francisco Examiner.l

EldhClSto
Sam Ruddell has made a seizure of
COS tins of bogus opium. The alleged
drug, which is nothing more than a
mixture of sugar and molasses, was
packed exactly like the poppy juice.
The tins were placed in large boxes
holding 200 and 300 each. These boxes
were stored in the basement of sa-
loon at the corner of Washington
street and small alley just below
Montgomery street.
For some time past the conspirators
have been carrying on large traffic
in the bogus opium with lot of poor
Chinese. 1t is the opinion of the
custom officials that it was also
shipped in large quantities to the Ha-
waiian Islands.
For the past few weeks Mr.. Ruddell
and number of deputies have been
watching the storehouse. 1t was
thought the cellar was well stocked
with the genuine drug. At late hours
of the night Chinese were seen prowl-
ing about the alley, off which there is
an entrance to the basement by way
of a trap door. The men who sold
the stuff used to meet their custom
ers on the corner and lead them along
the narrow passage to dark corner
There the tins of molasses and sugar
were delivered.
| The cellar in which the stuff is kept
is arranged as though it was a fiji
place to transact illicit business and
has an air of deep mystery. There
are a number of false barricaded doors
and narrow stairs. Boxes with strange
labels are stacked up on all sides. Sc
far the officials have not learned the
names of the people who conducted
the place. A week or so ago a man
named Gallagher, fireman of the Ala
media, was arrested for having severa
tins of the sugar and molasses OF
board the steamer.
