Prof. E. N. Horsford, of Cambridge, Mass.
There seems to be no difference of opinion in high medical authority of the value of phosphoric acid, and no preparation has ever been offered to the public which seems to so happily meet the general want as this.
It is not nauseous, but agreeable to the taste.
No danger can attend its use.
Its action will harmonize with such stimulants as are necessary to take.
It makes a delicious drink with water and sugar only.
Prices reasonable. Pamphlet giving further particulars mailed free on application.

SKIN HUMORS
CAN BE CURED BY
GLENN’S SULPHUR SOAP.
San Francisco, Feb. 16, 1883.
Mr. C. N. Crittenton:
Dear Sir: I wish to call your attention to the good your Sulphur Soap has done me. For nearly fourteen years I have been troubled with a skin humour resembling salt rheum. I have spent nearly a small fortune for doctors and medicine, but with only temporary relief. I commenced using your “Glenn’s Sulphur Soap” nearly two years ago—used it in baths and as a toilet soap daily. My skin is now as clear as an infant’s, and no one would be able to tell that I ever had a skin complaint. I would not be without the soap if it cost five times the amount.
Yours respectfully.
M. H. MORRIS.
Lick House, San Francisco, Cal.
The above testimonial is indisputable evidence that Glenn’s Sulphur Soap will eliminate poisonous Skin Diseases WHEN ALL OTHER MEANS HAVE FAILED. To this fact thousands have testified; and that it will banish lesser afflictions, such as common PIMPLES, ERUPTIONS and SORES, and keep the skin clear and beautiful, is absolutely certain. For this reason ladies whose complexions have been improved by the use of this soap NOW MAKE IT A CONSTANT TOILET APPENDAGE. The genuine always bears the name of C. N. CRITTENTON, 115 Fulton street, New York, sole proprietor. For sale by all druggists or mailed to any address on receipt of 30 cents in stamps, or three cakes for 75 cents.
