Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
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 constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
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 tits the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle. which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction,

Walker as he remembers the location
of the shoals when he visited there in

When the chart was shown Captain
Mcokler and Mate Walker yesterday
they disputed it as they were steering
a true southwest course when the yes
sci struck, and they believed the rock
to be on the north side of the reef.
According to Mate Walkers rec
ords the schooner was lying south
west of the island and the rock was
southeast by south half south.
Minister King, who visited the ISL
and when it was annexed says the
rock is almost due south from the

1t Is Not
Reasonable

To suppose that a dealer who
knows his business, who
knows values, as no novice
can know them, would
charge you for his knoWl-
edge. knowledge Of goods
makes it easy for him to pur-
chase right; and to sell right.
We claim to carry the best
goods known in our various
lines, and quality considered
sell them lower than most
houses in our line of trade.

is the backing we give our
goods which make them

She had been given up by the cap
