Statements as to Lack of Inspection BE
e Calls Unfounded in Fact.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The attention
Of the secretary of agriculture was
called to the assertion of several papers
that the action of the German govern
ment looking to re-imposition Of re-
strictions upon the live stock and meat
was due to inadequate inspection by
the department. owing to excessive re-
auctions in the inspecting force.
"a sufficient answer to such criti-
cisms,'' Secretary Morton replied, sis
to be found in the facts given at length
in my report. The records of the bu-
reau of animal industry show that
during the fiscal year ended June 30,
1854, $4,000, 900 pounds more of pork
were microscopically examined than
in 1898. r5 =. i. -. u ..s .3.- i.
During the same period of time more
than IL; 100000 of live cattle and other
domestic animals were inspected while
less than 100000 were during the
year before. And the exports Of hog
products, dressed beef and live cattle in
1894 exceeded any previous year.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. IA special from
Birmingham, Ala, says: Three of the
notorious Meachamite gang in Clark
county have been sent to eternity by
the rope and limb route. The Meach-
amite gang has for many years run
Illicit distilleries, made counterfeit
money, and committed robbery and
murder. For a person to give them
away meant certain death. In August,
1893, James McCorgnedal, prominent
citizen, was assassinated and citizens
drove the gang from the county. No
less thon 10 men met their death. A
short while ago the mechanics re-
turned to their old haunts and began

tured and lynohed. The scene is some
distance from a telegraph station but a
man just arrived at Whately, the tele-

American league have gone into the celebra

A Family I,axntive.

Physicians are not inclined to recommend
self medication to the laity. Yet there is
one need which they are almost unable to
supply. We refer to the ''family laxative"
The family physician is able to prescribe
for the most complicated and obscure Of
maladies and yet is often puzzled to know
just what to give when asked for remedy
which can be kept in the house for family
use as a laxative, that shall be effective,
free from danger, and not unpleasant to
ton we were asked by four different parties,
representing as many families, what we
thought of the Syrup of Figs" Not one
word did we volunteer on the subject, and
we were somewhat surprised to find that
there was this small token of the very gen.
eral use OF that preparation. These parties
said they derived more benefit from it and
found it more pleasant to take than anything
of the kind they had ever used. The simple
question with them was, is it dangerous
compounds We informed them that its
active ingredient was preparation of SEN
ma, and that It was entirely free from dan,
ger. With this assurance they volunteered
the information that they should continue
to keep it in the house.
The therapeutical properties Of SIENNA are
30 well known that comment on this seems
unnecessary. 1t might be well to notice,
however, that Bartholow says it is "a very
safe and serviceable cathartic," and that it
is "highly priced as remedy for constipa-
ton" He also makes the important obser-
walton that its use "is not followed by in
testinal torpor and constipation"
The simple truth of the matter is, wehave
altogether too few preparations which we
can recommend to our families as effective
laxatives. But the California Fig Syrup
company has one of the most desirable com
binations for this purpose with which we
are familiar. The Fig Syrup company gives
to the profession the composition of this
preparation, therefore there is no secret
about it; the persons who use this laxative
speak in the highest terms about it; and we
are pleased to notice that a large number of
physicians are prescribing it.
Viewed from the narrowest and most
selfish standpoint the physician will lose
nothing by recommending such a prepare
ton as Syrup of Figs to his patients; while
viewed from the highest standpoint of do
ing the best possible by those who place
themselves in our care, we would say the
profession cannot do better than give their
Endorsement to such preparation.-Amer-
lean Analyst
