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 a perfect lax
alive; ctfectually 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
gsts 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.

stove swindIers
The Brandon Union says that stove
swindlers are operating in surrounding
towns. They tell the people that they
will put the stove in on trial and do
not ask for IA cent of money. saying if
the stoves are not entirely satisfactory
they will call and take them away.
The people oft times consent 10 have
one put in on trial, and when it is
set up they are asked to sign a receipt
to show that the stove belongs to the
agent until paid for. OF course the
people readily do this and the agent
departs. The receipt proves to be a
note and is easily disposed of at some
nearby bank or to some local merchant
and the victim finds that he has an
apology for stove for which he has
paid good round price. 1t is report
ed that eight people have been
swindled in this way in Goshen.
