The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1896-02-08

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale OF
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge OF the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as II medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attestcd by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and 10y
the high approval of most eminent
ply sicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose Of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy, which would be moie
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manuiact-
uring, figs are used, Ms they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties OF the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination of
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneficially.
II in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then
| laxative 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 II laxative, then 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.

he would certainly hunt all London

This put the steward to new taking

that he had seen Mrs. Goodwin and hel

devised the show to entertain the serv-
ants in the kitchen, and that the guests
above, hearing their merriment, had
come down in time to get the flag end,
which pleased them SO vastly that they
would have her play it all over again.
"This may undo us" says Don San
chez, in a low voice of displeasure,
drawing us away. Here are dozen
visitors who will presently be examin-
ing Moll as a marvel. Who can say but
that one of them may know her again
hereafter to our confusion? We must

Herewith he goes up to his room,
leaving us to shift for ourselves, and we
into the parlor to warm our feet at the
fire till we may be served with some
victuals, both very silent and surly, be-
ing still sore, and as tired as any dog
with our days jolting.
While we are in this mood, Moll,
having finished her play, comes to us in
amazing high spirits, and, all aglow
with pleasure, shows us handful Of
silver given her by the gentry; then,
pulling up chair betwixt us, she asks
us dozen questions all of string as
to where we have been, what we have
done, ETC., since we left her. Getting no
answer, she presently stops, looks first
at one, then at the other, and, bursting
into fit of laughter, cries, "Why, what
ails you both to be so grumpy"
"In the first place, Moll," says Jack,
"I'll have you to know that am your
father, and will not be spoken to save
with becoming respect. P"
"Why, did but ask you where you
have BEEN"
"Children of your age should not ask
questions, but do as they're bid, and
there's an end of it. "

there anything else am not to do?"

And with that she empties her pocket
ON the chair, and out roll her sixpences
together with couple of silver spoons
What" cries Jack, after glancinl
round to see we were alone. "You have
filched couple of spoons, Moll?"
"And why not?'' asks she, her littl,
