KNOWLEDGE

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
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
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 weak
ening 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,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

1.-THE .observances of abrogation day
passed. off with perfect good order.
The American league raised new
American flag, 6ex3e feet; there was a
military parade and salute was fired
at noon. A public reception was
held in the council room. Illumina-
e ton and fireworks were shown with a
brilliancy unprecedented here. The
day closed with a very enthusiastic
mass meeting. The executive building
syarmed with visitors to the reception.
No uniforms were seen except a few OF
the local military, the rest were pres
ent in ordinary garb. The warships
were 7decked out with the weeks wash
ing, and the men were kept
aboard Some of the officers did not
stint their denunciation of Minister
Willis. 49, ...~..-..,. -ec~- ea7-rf
Minister Willis was the only foreign
representative who made any reply to
the notices sent them of the reception.
To avoid the discourtesy of a refusal
they treated the notices as mere Motif
cations, not invitations, and needing
no reply. 1t is learned that
they were under general instruc-
tions to avoid anything offensive
to the queen whom President
Cleveland had announced his intention
of restoring. To have in any way par
ticipated IN the celebration of her de-
thronement would have been an often
sive act to her. Most of the consuls
are in earnest sympathy with the pro-
visional government, but were COM
peeled officially to follow the lead of
Minister Willis. s1
The Advertiser voiced the view taken
of Minister Willis course by the gov
ernment in part as follows
1.-The truth is that Mr.. Willis found
himself in dilemma. The entire SOW
ereignty and independence of the Ha-
waiian government having been recog-

lean warships should have fired sa-
lute on the other hand. the United
States having demanded the surrender
of the government, the salute should
not have been fired. As we are
at peace with the United States,
Minister Willis should have bowed and
smiled at the executive building; but
as we are at war he should have barred
his front gate and gazed with defiance.
Who shall resolve these contradictions.
If Mr. Willis has not found any way
out of the difficulty consistent with the
usages of diplomacy the ordinary re-
quirements of courteous dignity, and
the power. of the great nation which
he represents the fault is not his, but
his masters. '-f ,-a

meeting of November 25, the speeches
were hopeful and congratulatory, and
the audience listened with great en-
thusiasm for an hour and quarter.
All the speakers pointed to annexa-
tion as the goal to be sought.

Cracker Toast Toast twelve hard

may reach every piece. Put few
pieces into hot dish and season with
salt, pepper and melted butter; then
more cracker and more seasoning, and
so on, till all is used up. 1t takes quite
an amount of butter to season them.

A Family Laxative.

Physicians are not inclined to recommend
se If 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
take. When absent on our summer vaca-
ton we were asked by four rdifferentparties,
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
compound9 We informed them that its
active ingredient was preparation Of SEN
na and that it was entirely free from dam
ger. With this assurance they volunteered
the information that they should continue
to keep it in the house.
The therapeutical properties of senna 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 it
is "highly priced as remedy for constipa-
tlOn." he also makes Lne Important OUScr-
walton that its use s'iS not followed by in
testinal torpor and constipation"
The simple truth of the matter Is, We have
altogether too few preparations which VIC
can recommend to our families as effective
laxatives But the California Fig Syrue
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 highestterms 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 prepara-
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 a preparation.
