Myth 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 a 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. Its 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. II is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase. that you have thc-~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
NAV be commended to the most skillful
physicians. but if in need of a 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.

WARNER s. SEARLES co,
Vicksburg, MISS
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1897-01-20
SAYS IT IS SO.

Thomas Noonan, general manager of
the Central States Dispatch and CONT
mental Fast Freight Line, both of which
work over the Baltimore & Ohio, in con-
versation with an Indianapolis Journal
man, said that there is no question as to
Oscar Murray, receiver of the b. & o.,
telling the truth when he said that their
large increase of business is not the re-
suit of cutting rates. Mr. Noonan said
that since Mr. Murray took control of
the B. & @. he put fifty new solicitors
in the field in all sections where the road
could be benefited by their work. These
are all active, earnest men, and the older
soliciting agents have been given to I'M
derstand that if they expect to hold their
employment they must hustle for bust
ness. Since Mr. Murray took control five
thousand cars of sixty thousand pounds
capacity and seventy-five new locomo-
tives have been added to the equipment
and the shops of the system have been
kept busy repairing locomotives and cars
1t is no surprise to Mr.. Noonan, under
such conditions, that there was an in
crease in the company's business. Every
thing favored the B.. & o. in improve
ment of times and export business, which
enabled 1t to use its three-cent differen-
tials to great advantage.
