A Family Laxative.

Physicians are not inclined to recommend
20 II medication TO the laity. Yet there Is
one need which they are almost unable to
supply. We refer to the "family laxative {"
Tho 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 q remedy
which can be kept in tho house for family
use rs laxative, that shall be effective,
free from danger, and not unpleasant to
take. When absent on our summer vaca-
tion we were asked by four urdifferentparties,
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 1t and
found 1t more pleasant to take than anything
of the kind they had ever used. The simple
question with them was, is 1t O dangerous
compoundl We informed them that its
active Ingredient was q 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 IL 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-
tion." He also makes the important obser-
VaVlOn InaJ lJS use rs not followed by In
testinal torpor and constipation"
The simple truth of the matter is, we have
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 highestt terms 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
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.

A National Bououet,"

Among the many suggestions concern
ing national flower, one which comes
from a Vermont farmer has decided
point and interest. He proposes that we
shall not attempt to settle upon a ma
tional flower, but let each state choose a
state flower, and have national bou-
quet," composed of all the state flowers.
Already certain of the states have en-
blems which would make very appro-
pirate and pretty elements in such a
great American nosegay.
Massachusetts, people prefer the trail
ing arbutus for an emblem. California,
on the other side of the continent, has by
law adopted the eschscholtzia or poppy
as it's state flower. The cedar sprig Of
Vermont and the pine branch of Maine
would contribute needed tinge of green
to the nosegay, while the orange blossom
of Florida would lend its fragrance, and
the mountain laurel of Alabama would
crown it resplendently.
The goldenrod and the aster would boz
long to the first state which should for
mally adopt them, and SO would the
graceful shooting star of the central west
and the prairie rose. There are flowers
and trees enough to ego around"
A bouquet composed of all these state
flowers and tree branches would grace
all formal occasions and would typify
the union of the states. 1t would say
"E pluribus unum" to the ordinary in
telligence more plainly than the Latin
motto does.-Youth,s Companion.

THE FIERY FIEND.
Famed by a Strong Wind, De-
YOURS Two of the L. c.
Spooner Buildings.

At about $50 o'clock, Tuesday
morning. the people of this city were
startled by the sound of the fire bell.
1t was soon ascertained that the mil
linery store of Miss Emma Spooner
was the scene of the confagration.
A large crowd congregated quickly
aud all turned their efforts toward
getting the fire under control, and to
removing the goods from the store
and furniture from the Offices of Drs.
Sutherland and Harris. In about 8
minutes after the alarm sounded the
fire company arrived on the scene,
prepared to battle with the destroy
ing element, which, famed by the
strong wind, was raging furious
ly. Several large streams from the
engine were turned on the burning
buildings and the adjacent ones but it
was some time before the water seemed
to do anything toward quenching the
flames. The fire spread rapidly and it
was with great difficulty that the va
cant building next to Hulburd &
Co.'s drug store was saved. The
stock of jewelry of Woodward & Co.
Was carried out. The fire
started in the millinery store, de-
'ective stove supposed to have been
he cause. The fire company did
excellent and effective work and de-
serve great praise, as do also those
uot in the company who assisted in
the work. The building on the cor
ler was completely destroyed and the
dress-making establishment of the
Misses McCue, on the second floor of
the vacant building next the drug
ore, was badly damaged by fire and |
alter.
ie.e was no insurance ON the |
- ldngs, and only $1,000 on the |
