Gladness Comes

Attn 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 constipated condi-
ticn 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 it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's 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 III
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should hav the best, and witlasthe
well-informed Everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

FROM ORAN.

everybody had a good time. The
balloon ascension came near termi-
mating in what might have been a
serious accident. When the big
gas-bag started up Prof. Scanlan
sprang forward, and when bis weight
came on the rope holding the para
chute it parted and he fell on his
back and was dazed for time. Up
on examination the rope was re-
ported partly cut. Your scribe
thinks'the rope used in cutting lose
from the balloon must have been
twisted in the pull ropes of the para
chute, and the weight of the Prof.

it. The man who had never witness
