A SIGNIFICANT DEPARTURE
Levee street

With the departure of another
year when a review il made of the
condition of affairs, it is only right
that some thought be given to the
physical body which enables every
one to battle with llfe's problem and
figure for themselves the profit or
loss on the trial balance sheet.
Though the bank account may be
large and each ones material gain be
great. it would not be surprising if
it suddenly dawns upon many that
good health has been greatly impov-
erished by the low condition of the
blood. It's in this state that the
Tactic acid in the vital fluid attacks
the flbrous tissues, particularly the
joints, making known the local man
ifestations of rheumatism. Thousands
of people have found in Hoods Sar-
saparilla the great blood purier, a
positive and permanent cure for
rheumatism.

EXPERIENCED A ROUGH SEA

Mr.. c. d. Grain, deputy
collector of customs Brownsville
district, arrived in Corpus Christi
Yesterday afternoon on the custom
house boat, from Point Isabel en-
route to Cuero to attend the funeral
of his brother, the late VIM. II. Grain.
Mr.. Cram says he left the Point
Tuesday afternoon at ) o'clock and
yesterday at 10 o'clock arrived at
Corpus Christi pass, running me-. V
100 miles in seventeen hours before
terrible wind in the gulf, most of
the time in darkness. He had made
up his mind to face the rough sea
and he did it. Soon after leaving
Point Isabel he met the sloop
Camilla from Corpus Christi battling
with the wild waves headed for the
Point with Messrs Scott and Lewis on
board. The steam yacht Argo with
Mr.. G. l.. Heath on board was still
in the harbor at the Point afraid to
venture out in such weather.

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 constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs. prompt

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. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California

If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then iaxa-
