DREAMS OF GREAT MEN.

All Such.
Some of the brightest minds have
been dreamers-but they dream sensi-
bly,. They educate themselves along
the line chosen as their life work.
Darwin dreamed over his Origin of
Species" 20 years before it saw light.
Milton dreamed over his Paradise
Lost from boyhood. Columbus was
condemned rs q soothsayer, vision
airy, . quacl, yet for Is years of the
cruelest antagonism he proved the
truth of his dreams and astonished the
world. Ferdinand de Leseeps dreamed
for IL years Of bringing London nearly
1900 miles nearer to India by the con-
struction of the Suez canal before the
necessary permission WAS granted by
the khedive Of Egypt.
But these men dreamed with puF.
pose. They read, argued. studied and
fought for their beliefs because they
knew from positive demonstration,
from actual knowledge. They had
weighed and analysed and sifted and
refined until all facts and data were

fingers ON plan they saw the result

world when finished
They did not sit for hours CONSUME
ing cigars and staring blankly 1t tho
open sky. They worked; they bent
every energy to one grim purpose; all
their lives were devoted to the consum-
nation of the one supreme wish Of
their lives They gave their work
their hope. their life. From the dim
recesses Of the human mind, ordinarily
30 iucomprehensible, they evolved the
brightest thoughts and followed tho

licitude Of . loving mother over her

Gladness Comes

[XIith better understanding of tho
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasante efforts
rightly directed There is comfort in
the moUledge, that 50 many forms Of
siclkness-are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to . constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
" removes. That ID why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed 50 highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
ono remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts It 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.
II in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
ad1icted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slsillful
physicians, but if in need of a 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.

Bees as Ventilators.

1t is not generally known, but
most beekeepers will inform you
that such is the case, that each bee
hive has a corps of what could prop
erly be termed "ventilating bees. :"
During the hot seasons these venti-
lators station themselves at the en-
trance of the hive and fan the in
terror with the incessant motion of
their wings. These ventilating corps
are usually in relays of from four to
a half dozen, and they are relieved
at short intervals by fresh workers,
who keep up the tanning process.
They are kept at work by sort of
patrol of bees, which insures inces-
SAINT activity on the part of the fan
ners during the time they are at
work. This story may sound strange
to those who know but little con-
corning the wonderful intelligence
of bees, but it is a scientific fact
that has often been authenticated.

MRS. JosEPH1NE PoLHIL,L.

Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West,
S. c., was fer years a sufferer from
this distressing complaint, and has
learned by experience it's tortures.
She says:
''For years | was the victim of the
worst case of catarrh that 1 ever
heard of. / was treated by several
doctors, and took numerous medicines
claiming to cure the disease, but in
stead of being benefited my condi-
ton grew worse steadily.
The trouble became so deep-seated
that l was entirely deaf in one ear.
1t is difficult TO describe my condition,
but some idea of the ravages of the
disease can be obtained when l state
that all the inside of my nose, inc1ud-
ing part of the bone sloughed off. 1t
can be readily understood how often
sive all this was, and how unbearable
my condition became. When the
disease had gone this far the p11ysi-
clan gave me up as incurable, and
told me l would never be any better.
Reading of many similar cases be-
ing cured by S. S. S., determined TO
try 1t as last resort. / soon discov-

cured, and for more than seven years

Deaf
From Catarrh.

The sufferer from catarrh, perhaps,
meets with more encouragement in
seeking a cure than those afflicted
with all other ailments. After ex-
hausting the skill of the best physi-
clans, and inhaling various mixtures,
paying out large sums for doctors
fees and medicines, he finds himself
either as bad off as at first or a great
deal worse.
The cause of this is easily explained.
The disease is in the blood, and only
real blood remedy can possibly have
any effect upon it. The doctors being
unable; with their stereotyped rene
dies of potash and mercury, to cure
diseases of the blood, direct their
efforts toward treating the symp-
toms of the disease, and ignoring its
cause. The inhaling of various sprays,
and use of washes, ETC., is but SUI
perfcial and temporary treatment,
and cannot possibly effect cure.
