EABrrUAL CONSTIPATION is a prolific
source of misery and many ills, giving rise to
headache, dullness, fevers, nervousness,
restlessness, billiousness, indigestion, poison
ing of the blood, ETC. The bitter, nauseous
liver medicines, pills, salts and draughts
formerly used to relieve the sufferer, only
aggravate the disease and sicken the stom-
ach. All who are afflicted in that way,
know the Importance of a remedy pleasant
to the palate, harmless in its nature, and
truly beneficial in it's action. The trial bot
ties of Syrup of Figs given away free of
charge by our enterprising druggists, S.
Hamilton of Roseburg, and Page G Dim
mick of Oakland, prove that it is all that can
be desired. Large bottles fifty cents and
one dollar.

ABOUT SARDINEs. Very few are
aware, when they purchase tin box
of sardines, that in spite of the gaudy
and attractive label it bears, with it's
French inscription and NapoleonIc
head, these "little fishes billed III lie" are
not the culpea sardine from the coast
of Sardinia and from ether parts of the
Mediterranean sea, but are nothing
more or less than a Yankee herring,
caught off the coast of Maine, put up
In cotton-seed oil. The imitation, de
ception, or fraud (whichever you see
fit to term it) is so complete that the
imported sardine is rarely used as a
s'hora d'nuvre," but in it's stead we
have the little Maine herring, ,garnished
with numerous slices of lemon, quite
as inviting to the epicure, and with a
flavor as highly esteemed. In fact, the
day of the imported sarcline has passed,
and nine-tenths Of the sardines now
eaten in this country come from Maine.
