Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands on thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to &ofnankind in the silence of
home. They suffer on and on-weeks,
months, years. The story of weakness
and torture Is written in the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, in the list
less eyes, in the lines of care and worry
on the face.
Unborn modesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope of
relief lies in the exposure of examina-
ton and '1ocai treatment"
Take ten cases of "female weakness"
and in nire of them "local treatment"
is unnecessary, There is no reason why
modest, sensitive women should sub

NA/lth better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical Ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to cohstipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prothpt-
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all reps
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health;
and the system is regular, then laza-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

Adopted by the National Convention at St

1.-The Republican party Is unre-
servedly for sound money. It caused
the enactment of the law providing
for the resumption Of specie pay
ment in 1870; since then every dol
lar has been as good as gold.
I'VE are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase
our currency or impair the credit Of
our country. We are, therefore, op-
posed to the free coinage of silver,
except by international agreement
with the leading commercial nations
of the world, WHICH WE PLEDGE
OURSELVES TO PROMOTE; and
until such agreement can be OBJ
tanned, the existing gold standard
must be preserved. All our silver
and paper currency must be main
tanned at parity with gold. and we
favor all measures designed to
maintain inviola BILE the obligations of
the United States and all our money,
whether coin or paper, at the pres
ent standard, the standard of the
most enlightened nations of the
world"
