GIadness Comes

With better understanding OF the
w transient nature OF the many phys
ical Ills, which vanish before proper ct.
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 IL is the only
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's the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which il acts. 1t is therefore
ali 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 Syrup Co. 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. IL
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but If in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
,sed and gives most general satisfaction.

Judge Weber is one Of the very best
district judges in the state, and it is not
impossible that he will be "a candidate
for the supreme beech; but he will be
brought out, not in st. Paul, BY the 4ma-

friends in the second district. The re-

dorf, Canton Of Aargau, Switzerland, on
the 9th Of December, seventy-seven

of that year that he joined some of the
Chicago people who were preparing to
make their home in the west. Thus it
was over forty years tina: he lived in
New Ulm, always quiet and unassum-
