Gladness Comes

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 any actual dis
ease, but simply TO constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of EIrs. prompt
liz removes. That Is why IL is the only
remedy with millions Of families, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due 10 the fact, that i'll the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which il acts. II is therefore
all important, in order TO get its bene-
fetal effects, 20 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 ia the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system Is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed III
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended 20 the most sltillful
physicians, but il In need Of laxative,
one shonld have the best, and with the
weil-inforrned everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and Improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
lightly used. The mary, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, BY more promptlH
adapting the WORLDS best prcducts ia
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy. Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreGhing and truly
beneficial properties Of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feve1
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
ncys, Liver and Bowels without weak.
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for SAFE by all drug

From the Financial Review of Henry

concluding portion os follows
The general feeling in Wall Street now is
that the war panic is over and that President
Cleveland will appoint as members of the
Venezuelan Commission able, dignitied and
upright men, and that such a Commission
can then be relied upon to be instrumental in
effecting a settlement of the Anglo Venezuelan
boundary dispute to the credit and honor of
both countries. A settlement through diplo
macy will certainly make q better record for
President Cleveland and Congress than can
possibly be obtained through drawing the
sword against nation of our own flesh,
