GIddness Comes

With a oetter understanding of the
Wv transient nature Of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-plcasant 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 o 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 debilitating the
organs on which it acts. ltis therefore
all important, in order to get its benc-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thatyou 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-
tives or other remedies arc not needed.
II afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

River View Opens Tom crrow

Charming River View, the picturesque
excursion resort of Capt. Z. S. Randall,
just above the frowniDg stone walls OF
Old Fort Washington, is now in all the glory
of its early spring beauty. The grass is
as green as grass can be- and the trees
are putting forth their leaves, ready to
shelter pleasure seekers from the fierce
sun rays or the coming summer days and
the dews of the nights.
The tenth year OF the view as an ex-
cursion resort will be opened tomorrow,
when the fast steamer, Samuel j. PentZ,
which has just been thoroughly overhauled
for the season, will make two flying trips
to it, leaving her wharf, foot of Seventh
street, at 10 a, m, and 2:45 p. m. Re-
turning, she will reach Washington at
O'Clock, i'll time for the young men TO pay
their sweetbearts an evening call. During
the past month the grounds at River
View have been greatly beautified. New
trees have been set out, new walks opened,
and all the buildings and restaurants on
the grounds have been placed in thorough
order for the season. The 100000
Chute which will be the attraction. is
not yet completed, but will be within the
next two weeks. 1t is Capt. Randall's
purpose to make River View the most at
tractive place on the Potomac now, if
money can do it.
