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- amy actual dis
ease but simply to 81 constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrulpof Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions,of families, andi
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. 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 SyrupCoa only and sold by
all reputable druggists,
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to- the most sl1lllful
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 giveslm0st general satisfaction.

some good in Populsm, Democracy can.
not indorse its vagaries Populism does
not believe there is any coed in the DEN
ocratic party and will not indorse it
therefore fusion is itnpracticable even il
it were desirable.

stood for the good and protection Of the
