BRIGHT'S DISEASE.

The largest sum ever paid for a pre-
scription, changed hands in San Fran
cisco, August 30. 1901. The transfer in
volyed in coin and stock SIP, 90 and
was paid by party of business men for
a specific for Bright's Disease and Dia-
betes, hitherto incurable diseases.
They commenced the serious investi-
CATION of the specific Nov. 10, 1900.
They interviewed scores of the cured
and tried it out on its merits by putting
oyer three dozen cases on the treatment
and watching them. They also got ply
sicans to name chronic, incurable cases,
and administered it with the physicians
for judges. Up to Aug. 25. eighty-seyen
per cent of the test cases were either
well or progressing favorably.
There being but thirteen per cent of
failures, the parties were satisfied and
closed the transaction. The proceedings
of the investigating committee and the
clinical reports of the test cases were
published and will be mailed free on ap-
plication. Address JOHN j. FULTON

The Benefit Of Change.

We are like house plants; We
need a change of soil now and then
Ito be replanted. New scenes,
new experiences, new surroundings,
change of climate, dry air instead
OF moisture, sunshine in place of
cloud. This is sometimes essential
10 health. There are conditions
near at hand that are better than
Europe can offer. Take month
or two in California. Plant your
self for a time where there are no
irritations, where the hotel is be-
yond criticism, the landscape pleas
ing, and where warm sunny
weather invites to walks and drives.
Pure and dry air, and the increased
electric Influences of sunshine are
vastly helpful.
You can make this trip at very
little expense, and enjoy a ride
over the scenic Siskiyou and Shasta
mountains, which, at this time of
the year with their snow-covered
peaks, are unsurpassed for their
grandeur.

The Poetry of the Orange.

1t appeals to you, when the fruit
hangs ripe and sweet on the tree late
in February, or early in March. Then
the blossoms break out, and the trees
are yellow with golden globes, and
white with orange flowers. 1t may
be that a furry of snow has whitened
the mountain tops, and then you have
an artistic background for u tropical
forest. The air is full of sunshine,
and heavy with fragrance as night
comes on, and then, If the moon be
shining, you may hear at midnight
through open windows, the song of
the moclling- bird in the scented grove,
and it never seemed so melodious be-
fore.
An experience like this is possible
any winter, and it is worth journey
of thousand miles, while you can
have it, by taking the scenic Shasta
Route through the grand and pictur-
esque Siskiyou and Shasta Mountains,
to Southern California. Complete in
formation about the trip, and de-
scriptive matter, telling about Cali
fornia, may be had from any Southern

FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
ricketts, if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littledoses everyday
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
frmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Rightfood will cureit.
In thousands OF cases Scott S
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood.
