Salt Is obtained In the United States
in several different forms and ways.
From the mines It comes In blocks,
and from strong brines It Is obtained
by evaporation or boiling by solar 'r
artificial beat. Boiling Is either con
ducted by putting It Into long wooden
troughs containing steam pipes, or in
large open pans of Iron or steel with
direct heat beneath thcun, or in large
vacuum pans In which the brine Is
boiled at a comparatively low pres
sure, or It Is heated In closed tubles at
a temperature much higher than that
at which brine bolls under ordinary

A Storekeeper Says:
"A lady came into my store lately and said :
" 'I have been using a New Perfection Oil Cook-Stove all winter
In my apartment. I want one now for my summer home. I think
these oil stoves are wonderful. If only women knew what a
comlort they are, they would all nave
one. I spoke about my stove to a lot
of my friends, and they were aston
ished. They thought that there was
smell and smoke from an oil stove, and
that it heated a room just like any other
stove. I told them of my experience,
and one after another they got one, and
now, not one of them would give hers
up for five times its cost.' "
' The lady who said this bad thought
an oil stove was all right for quickly
heating' milk for a baby, or boiling a
kettle of water, or to make coffee
quickly in the morning, but she never
dreamed of using it for difficult or
heavy cooking. Now she knows.
' Do jroe really appreciate what a New
Perfection Oil Cook-Stove means to yon t No
more coal to carry, no more comma to the
dinner table so tired out that you can't eat.
Just light a Perfection Stove and immediately
the rieat from an Intense blue flame ahoota
VP to the bottom of pot, kettle or oven. But
the room isn't heated. There is no smoke, no
smell, no outside heat, no drudgery in the
kitchen where one of these stoves is used.

Physicians Recommend Castoria
fASTOEIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma-
ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably tho
result of three facts: fr.f-The indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
Secox Thatit not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi
lates the food: nhd It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil.
It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotio
and does not stupefy. It u unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's'
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how
ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system not by stupefying it and our readers are entitled to
the information. Hall 's Journal of Health,
Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas, II. Fletcher.
Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed your
Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory."
Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says; "Your Castoria stands
first In Its class. In my thirty years of practice I can, say I never have
found anything that bo filled the place."
Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and
found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for
many years. The formula is excellent" '
Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's
troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always
Bee that my patients get Fletcher's."
Dr. "Win. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside
from my own family experience I have ia my years of practice found Cas
toria a popular and efficient remedy In almost every home."
Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Cas
toria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the
presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse
ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse It and
believe it an excellent remedy." .
Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not
prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experi
ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex
ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it
to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physi
cian who has raised a family, as I have, will join me In heartiest recom
mendation of Castoria." i
