FADS IN MEDICINE.

There are fads in medicine as in
every thing else and "new thing"
frequently sells for a short time
simply because il is new. But in
medicine, as in nothing else, the
people demand and will be satisfied
only with positive, absolute merit.
The fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
has stood its ground against all COM
petition, and its sales have never
waYered but have remained steadily
at the top, demonstrates, beyond any
doubt, the intrinsic virtues OF this
medicine. The new things nave
como and gone but Hoods Sarsa-
parilla rests upon the solid founda-
ton OF absolute merit and its power
to cure, and its sales continue to TO
the largest in the world.

DROWNING MADE IMPOS
SIBLE.
st. Louis Republic.

Tourists now. coming back
from abroad report.having wit
messed a..curious sight on sew
eral Of their journeys up and
down the Rhine. Down the
middle Of the stream, they say,
came a queer looking monster.
Large inflated wings seemed to
keep it above the water. In it's
hands it held an open hook,
and the face OF a man with a
heavy mustache bent over the
book. The current carried the
queerly shaped mass along and
soon the passengers of the boat
were informed that i. w. KuhI.
a German civil engineer, with
an inventive turn OF mind, was
giving an exhibition of the
feasibility of his new safety
cloak which makes death by
drowning impossible.
The construction Of the cloak
is or course the inventors my
stery. Outwardly it does not
differ in any way from an or
binary oyercoat, liaed with q
double layer of rubber. It is
very light aud the material
with which it is filled is of n
kind which makes sinking in
water impossible. 1t takes but
two minutes to slip it on, fill it
with air and have il thus ready
for use. Any shipwrecked per
son can easily spend from 16
to 20 days swimming along in
water, If provided with the
pants and shoes belonging TO
the new garment and the ne
cessary provisions for bodily
susIennnce. The bloak alone,
however, is sufficient to keep a
person several days comfort
ably on the surfoce of the water.

Gladness Comes

MYTH better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante 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 coustipated 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 1t is therefore
ali important, in order TO get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pnr-
chase, that you have tine genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
ell reputable druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
end the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. IL
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slEillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-infcrmed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
