Intended.

LONDON, May 27.-Lord Radstock,

ter from Rev. j. o. Denning, an Amer

ministering the famine funds. Mr..

local district committee, not single
halfpenny has reached the poor
Hindoos. He adds that the members OF
this committee opposed all relief OF
children on the ground that the only
orphanage is Christian, and that to
help the children would be helping the
Christians.

MIith better understanding of the

the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis

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, andis
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. 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-

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 a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of

used and gives most general satisfaction.
