THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

IS due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing Of the CALI
FoRNlA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families. makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and

1t does not always happen that the
thin spot in the earth's crust where
escape is possible. is found by the fire
on land. Sometimes, in his ceaseless
efforts to escape, the demon discovers
a weak place in the earth where the
ocean makes its bed, and, not being
a coldly calculating demon, but a hot
and impatient one, he doesn't stop to
consider that the way of escape is
guarded by his worst foe-water, and 50
he recklessly breaks through.
Then comes a short, sharp. fierce and
very decisive struggle. The water wins.
The ocean is too big for a thin wedge
of fire to lick up, and so the fiery ogre
is driven back to seek other avenues of
escape.
Not, however, before he has played
havoc with the ocean, and occasionally
with humanity. In the struggle much

Obviously all the river travel being in
the summer, the warm season was
especially busy all along the river, and
the steamboat companies made large
fortunes out of the traffic. At this
time the train competition commenced,
the throttle against the paddle wheel,
and, although the steamboat men
fought hard against the inevitable,
their time had come. The trains were
making up from La Crosse, 1923 miles
against nearly 200 by water, in six
hours. and the patronage was trans

between La Crosse and st. Paul in
exactly four hours.
