The San Francisco call., 1909-03-03

San Francisco appeared as sponsor
for the measure in the lower house
and insisted that it would be only just
to labor to wipe from the statute
books the Objectionable law that has
been there since 1852
p. F. Cogswell thought the present
law was all right, and said he did not
think it would be right to make 1t pos
sible for crew to desert ship before
completing a cruise.
\ 1t was while the debate was at It's
height that Johnson made his caustic
reference to President Wheeler. Some
gasped and others smiled indulgently
as the Sacramento assemblyman pro-
ceeded with his scolding. The bill was
passed with only nsninai opposition.

New Formula for old Time Remedy

Last Winter.

The increased use OF whiskey for
colds is causing considerable discussion
amor the medical fraternitv Tt is an
almost infallible cure when mixed with
certain other ingredients and taken
properly. The following formula is
wonderfully effective:
Mix two ounces OF glycerine with
eight ounces OF good whiskey and add
one-half ounce of Concentrated pine
compound. Take a teaspoonful or. a
tablespoonful every four hours.
Any good druggist can supply these
ingredients and will make the mixture

Concentrated pine is a special pine
product refined for medical use and
comes only in half ounce bottles, each
enclosed in a tin screw-top case, which
