sy6fith . better understanding of the
--aasient nature of the many phys
cal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-Scntle efforts-pleasant e ftorts-
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 a c~onstipated condi-
ton OF the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
iy 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. It's beneficial
effects are que to the fact, TINT it is the
ont remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
icial 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 arc then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skiiful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
ono should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usec and givesmost general satisfaction.

was today shown to be the remains OF Pat
rick Weisan, a retired liquor dealer Of
this city. Frederick Cheyne. one OF the
Injured. died last evening.
The impression prevails that the reSpon-
sibility for the accident rests upon the
dead engineer. There Is no dispute that
the signal TO 60 ahead was given to the
West Jersey excursion train. and II so the
danger signal must necessarily have been
given 10 the Reading track by automatic
arrangement. The theory Is that he had
not slowed up and could not stop when
he saw the Jersey train approaching. II
IL said he had been laid off two weeks not
long ago for not making good time. and IL
is supposed he was trying 10 make up for
this by running At a high rate OF speed.
The coroDer'a inquest VIII begin at
O'Clock Monday morning. Fireman OHou-
Than, OF the Reading train. who saved his
life by Jumping. is the principal witness.
