WITH a better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper ef-
gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that 50 many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply TO a constipated condi-
ton Of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs. prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed 50 highly by all
who value good health. It's 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 rep
utable druggists.
If i'm the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then Taxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended 10 the most slIllltul
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

ASIDE from all the long, laborious
arguments, pro and con, over bimetal-
ism, silver coinage and gold standard,
there Is one fact that stands cut prom
inent and unquestioned. says the Havre
de Grace Republican, and that is, that
ever since silver was demonetized, in
1873, and legislation inaugurated to re-
tire and destroy the greenbacks, and to
keep an idle gold reserve in the treasury,
and force the country to gold standard,
values have shrunken enormously, the
products of the soil have sunk below
cost Of production, business depression
has increased, money circulation has not
kept up with increasing population, and
hiS been growing scarcer in business
chanrels.
When this war on silver was inaugH-
rated, and the monometalistic crusade
began, times were good and general
business prosperity existed all over tie
country. livery business man knows
this to be so.
