Gludness Comes

With a better understanding of the
Wv 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 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. It's 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. tits 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
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 are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction.

"Castoria is the best remedy for children of

far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in

morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their threats, thereby sending

And Sold 1t to Many Different Part! !es

WAsHINGTON, April "A scheme to
defraud, which extended to various
cities throughout the country, and in
which number of people in all those
cities fell victims in various sums, in.
Guiding 81 200 by an Atlanta investor,
has been discovered by the patent
office officials. The scheme is the sale
Of part interest in an alleged thill
coupler invention, the purported in.
ventor disappearing after taking the
purchase money, and leaving all the
expenses for the investors. Twelve
different applications from even eleven
cities, accompanied by drawings, which
show that they were all made from the
same aluminium model are already on
file in the patent Office here, and the
name OF the inventor varies in each case.
Most Of the victims bought half in
terest in the invention. n singular
feature is that punishment can only
be made after proof that the operator
had sold an interest in more than the
whole of the patent, and to prove this
would mean the gathering of three
men from three of these cities in view
of the half interest usually assigned.
Even then the operator could only be
prosecuted on the petty charge of OBJ
tanning money under false pretense.
Meanwhile, in the absence of further
papers, action on all the cases is sus.
pended.
