r v Splendid Tribute THE SAN FRANCISCO URGES THE Royal Baking; Powder. ' , The magnificent tribute of the San Francisco Board of Health to the great purity and wholesomeness of the Royal Baking Powder greatly disturbs the manufacturers of the lower grade powders. ' Their- envious , publications, however, cannot break the force of this unsolicited and un biassed, high medical endorsement. Attached is a certified copy of their original report, with the signatures of the members of the, Board in fac-simile " , We, the members of The Board of Health of the City and County of San Francisco, cordially approve and recommend the Royal Baking Pow der. It is absolutely pure and healthful, composed , of the best ingredients of the highest strength and character. ; ; " , In our judgment it is impossible to make a purer or stronger Baking Powder than the "Royal."

An Elevator In Florence. "In Florence," says a traveler, "I encountered the slowest elevator known. It was in one of the pal aces, and a party of us wanted to go to the upper rooms. After a consid erable time the . lumbering thing creaked down and an attendant threw open the doors of its dingy in terior. He bargained with us for the trip at about five cents a head, and then, after' carefully looking us over, took out iron weights from the floor of the cage till he decided he had balanced our joint avoirdupois. We then entered and the 'Jiff began the ascent. We moved so slowly that the ladies became alarmed, fearing we should be stalled between flooin, and though the height was not great, not more than that of a four story building, we were several min utes in accomplishing it. "Two or three of our party who had preferred the stairs to the known slowness of the elevator, had reached the gallery, rested from their climb, and well begun a survey of the pic tures before we arrived. And the complacency of the attendant was so exasperating; he evidently thought his car remarkable for comfort and speed. I longed for a communion of language to give him a word picture of some of our New York elevators. New York Times. - . Long People Are Seldom Fat. Some persons are born with a nor mal tendency to become fat, others with a tendency to leanness. It is the same among the lower animals. The hog is a sort of . machine for transforming the odds and ends of food into fat, but the farmer knows beforehand that a little pig with long legs and snout will work off the fat as fast as it can be made. So a long legged person seldom inclines to obesity. Temperament has much to do with the bodily condition in this respect. In lymphatic people the life processes are slow and the fat is largely de posited rather than burned. This temperament furnishes some of the best types of surface beauty. The person of nervous temperament, on the other hand, by excessive activity of body and mind, and by predisposi tion to haste, worry, fret and impa tience, naturally remains lean; but while the features of such a person will probably lack softness and round ness of outline, they may exhibit in a marked degree the higher beauties of mind and soul.

Carious Methods 6t Ridding One's Self of the Troublesome Visitors Charms of All Sorts Absurd Beliefs Stray Bit of Folk Lor. "- Warts are especially undesirable pos sessions; although it has been thought that the presence of one on the right hand would insure riches to the lucky person having it. Various means of rid ding one's self 6f these troublesome vis itors are on record, and some of them are sufficiently' curious to merit mention. They may be banished, say some, by merely wishing them gone. The Breton peasant passes his hands over them, makes the sign of the cross, and bids them go in God's name. In Deux Sevres, you must pinch them each time you thin' of them, and say, "One 1" In Lusp' when you see a funeral pass, say, ,?oou' thoul in the name of the Father11 and Holy Ghost I" Or, when two6?69 pass, say, "Get out I get'"'" The troublesome warts will ioy. the proces sion. A funeral process is utilized in Ireland by saying, "Mpf. these warts and tnis cornse nasis wir,u never mure 10- turn. In the n r r etc; The warts the hand during must be rubbed with this time. In Lancae""' tBe warts may be rubbed with a nder, which must then be wrapped11 paper and dropped at cross roads' Whosoever picks it up will get thowarts. In Lusatia, certain marine petrifactions picked up on the beach are used in the same way, with the addition of the formula. "In the name of the Father," etc. ,in Lower Brittany, small buttons are made of slate, and the credu lous peasants count out as many as the number of their warts, Inclose them in paper, to look like a roll of pennies, and throw this away on the first road, believ ingthat the person who shall pick up the deceptive package will take the warts with him. Ia Deux Sevres, as many pebbles as there are warts are placed in a cavity in the wall, in the hopes that some one will get them and the warts. I have heard, when a boy, that a piece of beef would cause them to disappear, if they are rubbed with it, and the beef buried. There are many variations in this remedy in various parts of the world. It is, perhaps, the most popular cure of all those given. In Northumberland, Devonshire and Lancashire the beef should be stolen, and in Deux Sevres, two pieces must be used, and then tied to gether. . In Lancashire, it is not buried, but must be carefully nailed up on a gate post at a point where four lanes end, or any other secure place, and suffered to decay. In Devonshire, the beef must be thrown over a wall and your left shoulder at the same time. In Scotland, stolen bacon is necessary, and lard from a male pig in the Vosges mountains, buried deep in the ground. In Lower Brittany, you must steal a piece of lard , from your neighbor's chimney, taking care not to get caught at it, rub the warts with it, and put it in a manure pile. Norman peasants use a pork rind, and put it in a rut in the road; when a carriage passes over it, a cure is insured. In vivarais, France, rub with the down of the broom plant, and throw it over your shoulder into the road. - Peas or beans are employed in many places. In Upper Brittany, the warts must be rubbed with small peas, which are then cast into" a well or fountain. As they rot, the warts will disappear. In the Vosges moun tains, you may take as many peas as there are warts, and cast them on the fire, tak ing care to run away so as not to hear them explode. In Buckinghamshire the favorite pre scription is to rub the warts with peas, one for each wart, and then wrap the peas in a paper and throw them away. A leaf of cabbage picked up on the road is used in Lower, Brittany. Rub the warts with it, and put it just where you found it, hastening away without looking be hind. In England a piece of sour apple will perform a cure, and in Deux Sevres, blood from a wart is dropped Inside an apple, but in a peculiar way, and then allowed to rot. In Northumberland, you must rub with the black snail nine nights in succession, and then impale the ani mal on a thorn hedge. In Lower Brittany, a large snail ' must be rolled over the warts, and then impaled on a wheat stalk as high as possible. . In the Vosges, knots are tied in a string, one for each wart, and the string thrown over the shoulder, without looking to see what becomes of it. Others say to put the string under a stone which you may not be able to find again, or under the pa ternal roof tiles. In one part of England, each wart must be touched with its knot, and the string buried in a moist place, while the formula, "There is none to re deem it besides thee," is repeated. In Lusatia, stalks of grain, containing as many knots as there are warts, are used, passing each knot three times over them and saying: "In the name of the Father," . etc. In L'Orient, the straw Is buried to rot, In Scotland, rye stalks are neces- ! sary, and they must be wrapped in a cloth and put secretly away. In Oxford, a notched stick was substituted. F. S. Bassett in Globe Democrat. Betrothals to Bulgaria. Often the Bulgarian peasant maiden undergoes lengthened tribulations, of hope deferred and unkind disappoint ments, between her betrothal and mar riage. If her lover is poor and unable to accumulate the Stipulated price set upon her head, and which must be paid before she can become a bride, the wedding is sometimes postponed for years. Some times the parent of the prospective bride is a considerate father, and in case the whole amount cannot be raised, accepts a portion, and gives the young couple time to pay the balance by their united exer tions. , . - . . - But quite as often the "cruel parent" will harken to no such compromise, and no such loose, unbusinesslike settlement, and until their "ship comes in" the daugh ter has to hoe and reap in her father's fields. Always after the betrothal, how ever, which is a public ceremony gone through with amid much wine drinking and feasting, the young couple are al lowed to bill and coo within the limits of Oriental propriety, and if the fates pre sume to use them too harshly they some times accomplish happiness by an elope ment. In that case there come the usual tears and forgiveness upon the runaway couple's return, and usually 6ome sort of a compromise between ho payment at all tq the exacting father and the sum stipu lated at the betrothal.

The results of the editorial work are given herewith : - Mr. William Giselman, a well-known attorney and manager of the Hasting's Trust, was found at his office in the Phelan Building. When asked if he had been benefited by the use of War ner's Safe Cure he cheerfully and enthu siastically told what the 'remedy had done for him. ; "I had possessed strong prejudice against patent medicines," he said, "but four -years ago when 1 was suffering from a severe attack of congestion of the kid neys and liver, I was persuaded to try Warner's Safe Cure. I was surprised at the almost immediate benefit I derived from it and I have been an enthusiastic friend of the medicine ever since. , I have recommended it to a great many friends, not only in this city but inac ramento and in Solano and Napa coun ties, and always , with the best results following its use." Dr. M. M. Gibson is the pastor of the United Presbyterian , Church. Some years ago, while traveling in Europe, he contracted renal calculus, or stone in the kidneys. , He tried various remedies but got no permanent relief. Speaking of the way he, finally became cured, the Doctor said : - "Having heard of Warner's Safe Cure I wrote to the proprietors at Rochester, New York, and they, through profes sional courtesy, sent me a half dozen bottles. - I took the medicine according to the directions and was speedily re stored to health. Since then I have had no return of the trouble from which I suffered so intensely. I have heard many people tell of the "benefits derived from the use of this great remedy. Only the other day I was talking to Mr. Seabury, the druggist, opposite the Baldwin, on Market street. He was decrying patent medicines, when I said: 'How about Warner's?' He replied: 'That remedy is not properly classed as a patent medi cine. It was originally a physician's prescription.' " Mr. J. J. Evans, the popular stationer at 406 California street, said: "For years I had been troubled witk rheumatism which seemed to settle in my shoulders, giving me most intense pain. I tried various remtdies and doc tors' prescriptions, but could get no per manent relief. A few bottles of War ner's Safe Cure perfectly restored me to health and I am no longer a sufferer from rheumatism." Mr. C. W. Hopkins, with J." Houston & Co., Market street, in reply to the in quiry of our reporter, said: -- "in 1884 1 was refused a policy in the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, on account of kidney trouble, which soon after became so severe that I was compelled to take to my bed.' I em ployed the best physicians who diag nosed my trouble as a case of Bright's Disease and pronounced it incurable, giving me but a yi ar to live. My suf ferings wore terrible and reduced me to almost a skeleton. After spending over $1300 in doctors' bills, without obtaining either health or encouragement, I was induced to try Warner's Sa'e Cure. I did so, and was sui prised and rejoiced to find that it was working a radical cure which has long since been effected. As a result of the work of this great rem edy, I to-day carry a policy in the above mentioned Life Insurance Company and consider mysulf as healthy a man as can be found in this particularly healthy countrv." . Dr., "H. M. JFiske, whose office is in the Donohue Building, is one of the old est and best knwn physicians in the city. In the cornse of conversation our reporter frankly asked the Doctor if in his practice he had any experience with the use of Warifer's Safe Cure. The physician answered the inquiry with more candor than most doctors would display when proprietary medicines are mentioned. He said : "I have seen the formula published in the Medical Journals and I should judge that it had been prepared by some able physician. I experimented with the prescription by preFcribing medicine under similar formulse and found that they did much' good. In one or two cases after that where circumstances made it difficult for patients to reach me for treatment. I advised them to go and get Warner's Safe Cure. I do not care to say much about the remedy except that I have found it a very good prep aration. One case in which I know of its successful use was that o Bright' Disease in its earlier stages," It is needless to say that these over whelming proofs convinced the flnanoier, as they should any reasonable person, that the great preparation of which they speak has no equal for the serious troubles it is designed to cure. Its won derful popularity is due wholly to its ! power and it stands, as it deserves to '. stand, above all other modern cure. eon branc.wc.o evening fost. I CURE FITS !

There is only ore way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, w i ich is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
