An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYEUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laXa
tive principles of plants known to bt
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. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
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 senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUT
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

fesses and really Is, as n Temperance man

The Bridgton News, printed out OF the
county, and 10 anything but good taste
and propriety, has settled the matter TO
its own satisfaction that Hon. Charles T..
Littleheld, on temperance ''can give all
the other candidates points and win.'
The line OF statement suggests the
"small-bore" temperance leaders stand
point Of view, and ''smacks" Of narrow
ness. Must one belong to particular
organization In order TO give him pre-
cedence rs q trusted temperance man
over another? And does the fact that
one once appeared before a committee Of
the legislature to procure the enactment
OF law, settle the matter! These can
not place one above another whose whole
life has been purity itself In this respect.
What particular organizations Mr..
Swasey now or formerly belonged to /
have not taken the pains to inquire about.

that his temperance professions and
practices 60 hand In hand and ~ an ad-
v0cate who Is more eloquent than he?
Is not this enough? Who shall give such
a man "points" In temperance and over

himself an authority on temperance ana
temperance men, and this may possibly
be 40, In the section where that paper IL
