Gladness Comes

MIith 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 Figs, prompts
~ removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that tits the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all 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. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sllillful
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
used and gives most general satisfaction.

erty owners west of Rock creek, l have to
request that you will advise of the

The delay on your part is causing ire
mendous embarrassment to our people, and
in some cases property has been sacrificed.
1t is of the utmost Importance that you
should have expedited the record of this
plat. and thereby remove the excessive
burdens which crushing the owners of
property in this section. An early receipt
of this information will be appreciated. in
order to allow the same to be presented at

In all cases OF nervous prostration nervous indi-
geston neuralgia sleeplessness, hysteria inces-
SAINT headache, the objective point of true rem
edy like Paine's celery compound is to make more
blood, gather flesh and increase the number Of red,
health-gving cOrpuscles in the blood.
Paines celery compound fills the vessels with red
blood, drives out the dangerous humors and thus
gives relief to host Of aches, pains and weak
nesses
Women and men who have lost flesh and grown
coloress and subject to aches and pains. gain
quickly In health from Pane's celery compound.
There is hardly family of any size where there
is not some member who is feeble, forever tired and
below the standard of health to whom Paine's Gel
cry compound would prove of invaluable help. Not
only does this great invgOratOr drive ont the aches
and distresses that have accumulated because of
neglected rheumatism neuralgia, but the liberal
gain in flesh and blood that is always a noticeable
and encouraging esult of its use brings about bet
ter health In the digestive assmilative and Sc
