{HTith Il better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentlc efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
case, but simply to 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. It's 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. Its therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tivcs or other remedies are not needed.
II afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sliillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-inforncde everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
gBaa sndGives most general satisfaction.

Success always brings with it enthusiasm,
and from all parts of the city enthusiastic
peopleare sounding their praises of the work
of the little conqueror. Mr.. q. ID. Flanders
IS the well-known grocer, at 52l N. Saginaw
Street, and that the statement he makes here
is true in every particular, goes without
saying. This is what he says:
For as long as four years j suffered fro"
pains across my back over the kidneys
was that old backache, sometimes better and
sometimes worse. Anyone who has expert
enced such a pain will understand how dis
tressing it is was continually annoyed by
its presence. / knew the kidneys were at
fault, rs there were other signs of kidney
disorder. That pain across the kidneys had
become very constant. If l accidentally
Jared myself, would feel it much worse for
a time. One day happened to read about
a remedy for the kidneys called Doan's Kid
ney Pills. / determined to try them, so
went to Dullam Bros drug store and pro-
cured a box. had taken only few doses
when felt relief from thepain. Icontinued
to use them, taking altogether three boxes,
and they have cured me. The backache is
entirely removed and have felt as good
since as / ever did in my life. Doan's Kid
ney Pills are truly kidney cure. AS long
as l have n chance shall recommend and
speak good word for them, advising others
to use them"
EVERYWHERE YOU 60 tits just the same as
this No article or medicine has ever caused
such stir in the world from its extraordi-
nary properties as has Doan's Kidney Pills.
People call them "The little coaquerors OF
kidney trouble" "The littlespecialist, ""The
little enemies to backache," and many other
such names, and they have good reason to.
