A Romantic Bit of History surroondingf 
The Life of the Orange 
CHE recipe of this wonderful tonic was obtained four generations ago by an 
admiral of the United States Navy, stationed in the Mediterranean, whilst on 
sick leave in the mountains of Italy, from the Sisters of a convent near the 
village where he was recuperating from a long and dangerous illness. The cordial 
eflfected a permanent cure. The recipe has been transmitted as an heirloom from 
daughter to daughter of the same family to the present day. 
The present owner of the recipe (a daughter of one of the most distinguished 
generals of the late Civil War) has often felt that its rare tonic qualities should not 
be withheld from the suflfering public. With surprisingly beneficial results has 
every part of the orange been used and its well-knowu medicinal properties 
extracted. The fruit, the flowers, and the leaves have all yielded something, and 
the perfect cordial produced has amply repaid the tedious care required in its 
preparation. 
To this rare old compound, the result of centuries of thought and experience, 
have been added a few simple ingredients of highly nutritious character (see 
formula), resulting in a most perfect tonic and nervine. A trial will speedily give 
proof of its wonderful restorative power. 
The attention of the gentler sex is called to the fact that they will find this tonic 
especially valuable in preventing and removing the weakness and exhaustion to 
which they are liable. 
A Word to Explain 
Why We are ODnnected with this Orange Tonic Cordial 
Our attention having been directed to the remarkable virtues of " The Life of 
THE Orange," we concluded to arrange with our friend and patron, Mr. F. A. Haber, 
for the handling of this article in California. This means that all sales, by whom- 
ever made, will result to our advantage; but we should naturally like to handle the 
orders direct. It is almost needless to say that our belief in the merits of this simple 
but healthful Tonic Cordial must be very pronounced to lead us to offer it over our 
own name in one hundred thousand seed books, read by over a million people.
