The explanation is simple. It is found in
that impure blood which is contin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead OF the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and
nerve compounds simply deaden and
do not cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla feeds
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives
natural sleep, perfect digestion, is the
true remedy for all nervous troubles.

Bicycle Saves His Life.

New HAVEN. April 22.-.Dys-
pepsia,r said Charles w. Pickett
editor of the Erenfag Leader. as
he got hastily up from the sup
per table Monday evening and
made for his medicine closet.
For wears he has been sufferer
from acute gastritis. and be
has always had remedies at hand.
He seized bottle-he thought
it was the right one-and swal'
lowed a dose. It was so bitter
that it fairly staggered him and,
looking at the label, he saw that
he had taken n,lr romicd by mis-
take.
There was no time TO lose. BE
knew it. Already he began to
feel that terrible construction OF
the muscles which follows strych-
nine poisoning. His temples
throbbed and his breath came
short.
Standing by his porch was his
faithful wheel. He had been a
user and advocate of the bicycle
ever since they first were used.
Now was the chance to see what
it could do for a man in peril OF
his life.
He threw himself into the sad
die and dashed down the street.
Every muscle was strained to its
utmost tension. He was riding
for his life now, and all the ordi.
nances ever framed against
scorching could not stop him.
Around the corner into Chapel
street he turned. The throng on
the sidewalk. collegians. pretty
girls of the city, and other towns
people, old and young, marveled
at his speed.
At last he brought his wheel
up to the curb in front of DR..
Baldwin's office, and leaping off,
abandoned it to its fate. With
trembling knees and face drawn
with anguish he staggered up
the stairs. Luckily the doctor
was in. Mr.. Pickett managed to
that he had swallowed
nur vomica by mistake and then
fell writing into a chair.
DR.. Baldwin went to work with
antidotes and stimulants. He
made the editor pace up and
down the floor until the antidotes
began to work. and forced him
to shake off the lethargy which
was stealing over him. In the
course of two hours the danger
was past and the editor was able
to go home IN a carriage.
Mr.. Pickett declared that his
wheel had saved his life, and says
thought to receive a medal from
the Humane Society.
1T was marvellous escape"
says DR.. Baldwin.

"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.

The Company known through
out the world as the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Cos

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value OF the remedy as a medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used. as they art
pleasant TO the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneficially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then 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.

VINO had worn the judicial ermine of an
nssocinte judge for ten years. One day
he was asked by an old acquaintance
if he had ever been consulted by the
court while on the bench. "Never but
oncc," said the judge. "Only once in
ten years!" exclaimed the friend. "It
must have been a very important case"
"0h, no." replied the e%-associate, "it

in session about ten hours, and l had
