Physicians are not inclined TO recommend
Sc II 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 laxative, that shall be effective,
free from danger, and not unpleasant to
take. When absent on our 8, INNER vaca-
tion we were by four differentparties,
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
compoundl 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
so 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 Il
is highly priced as a remedy for constipa-
ton" He alss makes the important obser-
walton that its use ''is not followed by in
testinal tsrpor 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 highestternfs about it, and we
| are pleased to notice that 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 thei,
Endorsement to such preparatiOn.-Ame

hands.
The bunglng and brutal performance
OF yesterday ought to satisfy our neigh

lowing New York In her reform In the
inlction OF the death penalty. In the
many electrocutions that have taken
place in New York since the new method
came into operation not a single one has
failed to kill In few seconds, while
medical science has confidently declared
that all sensibility TO pain ceases at the
very instant the electric shook Is APP
Piled The hanging of Aitenberger was
a butchery. His neck was not broken by
the fall. owing doubtless to some fault
In adjusting the ,ope. and the man was
slowly stranglel to death. 1t took
sixteen minutes to put him out OF his
agony. The drop fell at four minutes af-
ter 10 o'clock, and death did not come to
his relief until twenty minutes after 10.
This Is in striking contrast with the
electrocutions In our prisons. and ought
