With 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 a constipated condi-
ton 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 its 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, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
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.

Around she World In Thirty DAy..

Perhaps you've never read Jules Vernes thrilling story Around the World In Eighty Days. y When it WAS written, the author thought he was tell ing very big story, indeed, and so did every one else. The idea, said his read CTS, of travelling 25, 900 miles in 50 daysi Preposterousl
 But since then many travellers have made the trip in less time, and within the next four years any boy or girl will be able to make it in 30 days. For in the year 1900 the Russians will com plete their famous Trsnssiberian rail road, which connects Europe with the Pacific coast of Asia Starting from New York, the trlyeler may then cross the Atlantic ocean to the coast of France. Here he may take 8 train which will whirl him over Earope and Asia and put him down at Pacific port. From this point he may ship to San Francisco and catch train for New York. 1t is calculated that the fare for the trip will not be more than $500 or $400.
 If this railroad building keeps on. there will soon be no parts Of the world left for our boys to explore. -Chioago Record.

The f}aeteriotogieal Review com mends the practice of water dtink- ing in typhoid fever, the importance of subiecting the tissues to an inter nal bath having, 1t appears. been brought prominently to the notice of the profession by NJ. Debove, of Paris, believed by some to have been the first to systematze such a mode of treatment. The practice of that eminent physician consists, in fact, almsot exclusively of water drinking, his requirements being that the patient take from five to six quarts of water daily. this amounting to some eight ounces every hour, If the patient subsists chiefly upon diet of thin gruel, fruit juices or skinned milk, the amount of liquid thus taken is to be subtracted from the quantity of water The important thing is to get into the system, and out of it, sufficient amount of water to pre- vent the accumulation of ptomatnes and toxins within the body. Copi- ous water drinking does not weaken the heart, but encourages it's action by maintaining the volume of blood; it also adds to the action of the liver, the kidneys and the skin, and by promoting evaporation from the skin, it lowers the temperature. - ScienhiGe dme,fcaR.
