Glddness Comes


w transient nature of the many phys,
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff.
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante 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. It is therefore
ali 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, e
may be commended to the most sl1illful
| physicians, but if in need of q laxative,
! then one should have the best, and with
| the Well-informede everywhere, Syrup OF
| Figs stands highest and is most largely
1sedand gives most general satisfaction

They were the favorite matadores. Some

The Bicycle Possibly Safeguard
Against Consumption.
From the British Medical and Surgical Journal.
At the last quarterly meeting Of the
American Statistical Association, DR.. 8. w.
Abbott, secretary of the Massachusetts,
board Of health, presented some interest
ing figures regarding the proportion of pull
monary tuberculosis in females to that in
males in Massachusetts. The rate in 1851
was 1,451 females to 1000 males; in 1880,
1.055 females to 1000 males; and last year,
only 914 females to 1000 males. Last year
was the first in the history of the state in
which the number of deaths from phthisis
IN females was smaller than that in males
The fact that a uniform reduction in the
rate of female deaths began some five years
ego, about the time when women were be-
ginning to ride the bicycle extensively, DR.
Abbott considers significant, and he is in
clired to attribute the decrease in the death
rate to the great increase in open-air exer-
else among women which has been inau-
gurated by the use of the bicycle.
