A Family Laxative.

Physicians arc not inclined 10 recommend
self medication TO the laity. Vet there Is
one need which they are almost unable 10
supply. We refer 10 the "family laxative" "
| The family physician Is able 20 prescribe
for tho most complicated and obscure Of
tnn'adies and yet Is often puzzled 10 know
Just what TO give when asked for q 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 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 lind that
there was this small token Of the very gem
eral use OF that preparation. These parties
said they derived more benefit from II and
found u more pleasant 70 take than anything
OF the kind they had ever used. The simple
question with them was, is IL a dangerous
compoundl We informed them that its
active ingredient was q preparation Of SEN
ma, and that IL was entirely free from dan
ger. With this assurance they volunteered
the information that they should continue
70 keep IL in the house.
The therapeutical properties Of senna arc
80 well known that comment on this seems
unnecessary. IL might be well to notice,
however, that Bartholow says It is "a very
safc and serviceable cathartic.n and that Il
Is highly prized as remedy for constipa-
ton" He also makes the important obser-
vation that its use sis not followed by in
testinal tirpcl' 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 desirablecom
binations for this purpose with which we
are familiar. The Zig Syrup company gives
70 the profession the composition OF this
preparation, therefore there Is no secret
about II; the persons who use this laxative
speak in the highestterEls about Il; and we
are pleased 10 notice that large number Of
physicians are prescribing IL.
Viewed from the narrowest and most
selfish standpoint the physician will lose
nothing by recommending such prepara-
ton as Syrup Of Figs 10 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.-Am

The business men of Denver had the
question of Governor Waites sanity
under debate at one of their meetings
last week, and it was intended at one
time to institute proceedings against
the cracked-brain governor under the
State lunacy laws, but about that time
the old man was struck by lucid spell
and agreed to refer the matters in dis
pute to the supreme court, so the lunacy
proceedings were dropped for the time
being.

Birds as Foragers.

Food provision is the object for which
birds periodically change their dwelling
places. The sovereigns the bishops,
the barons of old and medieval times,
when they had exhausted the resources
of one estate moved on to another.
This was the reason of the constant
journeying of our ancestors in the days
gone by, when each district provided
for its own needs. The fashion among
birds still prevails. Hence the great
waves of bird life constantly ebbing and
flowing high up in the ocean Of air;
hence the regular migrations SO won
derful in the distances and dangers little
birds compass in their long flights over
thousands of miles; hence the fitful fit
tings which, on smaller scale, distin-
guish even the birds that are classified
as stationary species.
There is no food at all left for the
birds in the higher arctic regions in
winter; plants, fish, insects are killed
or buried in the ice and snow; the vast
hordes of Jennings, little creatures near
akin to the voles that have made such
rayages on the sheep farms of southern
Scotland of late years. leave these high
latitudes; there is nothing left even for
birds of prey.
In the summer, wild luxuriance of
forest, field and fen, shoals of fish in
the great rivers and the deep blue sea,
swarms of insects flying in dense clouds
over field and ford and steppe and birds
in teeming multitudes-sea birds, river
birds, sand birds, hill-loving birds,
wood-haunting birds, field birds, birds
big and birds little, myraid hosts of
birds. In the winter, frozen seas, ice
bound rivers, iron hills, snow-clad for
ests, snowy fields, no fish, no insects,
no seeds. no berries, no worms visible
even to sharp bird eyes, therefore, no
birds.
In the countries bordering on the
polar seas, where the changing seasons
bring alternately the two extremes of
dearth and plenty, birds are more nu-
merous in the short summer than any
where else all the world over and in
winter absent altogether. All are mi
grants there by force of circumstance.
