An Excellent Combination.

: The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUF OF FIGs, manufactured by the
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. II
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispellipg 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 SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

A Sad Death.

Helen, the little daughter of Mr.. and
Nrs. Ira Henshaw, aged two years and
ave months, died about nine r. m. last
Sunday from injuries received the day
before by falling over pan of boiling wa
ter, brief account of which appeared in
last weeks HERALD. Mrs. Henshaw left
her two small children in the sitting
room to play while she was making prep
arations to mop the kitchen. She had
just placed dishpan full of boiling wa
ter On the floor and stepped out the back
door for the mop, when little Helen open
ed the door from the other room into the
Kitchen and come backing in pulling her
wagon aud tripped over the pan, falling
int the scalding water. DR.. White was
hastily called and an examination
showed that she was badly burned from
the waist down but 1t was not thought
the injuries would prove fatal. The eff
lect OF the shock on her system was too
great and when the reaction set in, she
Jailed rapidly and her sufferings were
soon over. The sympathies of the entire
community are with the bereaved father
and mother. The circumstances sur
rounding this sad affair are almost iden-
heal with those of the death of the little
one OF Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Miller.
