panied by the premier NJ. Dupuy, and
the chief of military household, Gen.

cries OF Panama" "A has Loubet, "
and Vive lArmee." A few shouts Of

clamor. A strong force of police kept

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,~
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by thsv
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUP
