Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

Its excellence is due to its presen' ing
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties Of a perfect Lag

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weaken
ing them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package. also the name, Syrup of Figs,

wearer was Mary E. Walker, M. D., and closer inspection of the bronze star would have revealed the inscrip- tion: 1.-The Congress to Dr. Mary E. Walker, A. A. Surgeon, U. S. A." Upon the little silk flag by which the star is depended is little gold shield, also engraved. Dr. Walker is very proud of this souvenir, for, as she remarked to Boston Journal man, it is something no other woman has ever received, and was awarded to her for her services as an acting assistant surgeon in the army of the Potomac during the war. She was with that army and also with the army of the Cumberland. Dr. Walker has been able to do very little in the line of her medical profession for a number of years owing to failing eyesight, caused by atrophy of the nerves of the eye, incurred during her service in the war, and for which she was granted pension by the United States government. Her masculine at tire, although an old story, for she has worn it ever since she was "a little girl" she says, always excites con- ment and attention wherever she goes, even in Washington, which is her home,
