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 it, products. The
great value OF the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose Of
manufacturing and selling II laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process Of manu'act-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthfui
in their tendencies, but the medicinal.
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
ative, and to act most beneficially.
If 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 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.

SILVER DOLLARS.
Demand on the Treasury for Those
Coined This Year.

NoAhed Ih1S 4 ear.
The treasury officials are in daily receipt
OF large number of requests asking for
silver dollars of this years coinage in ex-
Change for silver certificates or other law
full money. Many Of these requests come
from persons who seem to doubt the truth
OF the monthly coinage statement, while
others ask for shipments OF 1896 dollars.
with view.to refutlns statements that no
silver dollars are now being coined. These
requests have been complied with as fast
as received. and the treasury officials de-
sire to call public attention to the fact that
when silver dollars are ordered In sums or
multtpies of $500 they are shipped at the
expense OF the government, but when
smaller sums are ordered the shipments
are made at the expense Of the person Or
dering.
There is now in the treasury s1n. ;O6 300
IN Tree silver, that is. silver which may be
obtained in exchange for any lawful money.
but the demand just now is SO keen for
1885 dollars that it seems probable that
by the beginning Of October the department
Will be compelled to decline to pay out
silver dollars. except in exchange for sill
yer certhcates or treasury notes of 1890.
The law requires certain amounts of sill
yer to be held in the treasury to cover out
standing silver certificates and treasury
notes, and when the minimum Is reached
silver payments would be refused, even in
exchange for gold or in payment Of war
rants on the treasury
The number OF standard silver dollars
coined during last August is shown by the
official statement to have been 2,85O,OOO
since February l last. I1,212412, and since
November, 1893, 15,169 491. The coinage
value of the stock of bullion now on hand
and on which the Elints are now at work,
is $1G6. 1920, and it is said to be aItogeth-
er probable that coinage Will be continued
at least until the stock of standard dollars
of 1880 has been increased to about $40, ,0O0.-
