When a shooting star breaks into
fame in our atmosphere, the residuum
of the combustion remains in the air
and can be found in what is known as
atmospheric dust. The virgin snow of
the polar regions was often seen to be
spotted with traces of dust which con-
tanned particles of iron. Like particles
are found ON church towers and else
where. Among the minute bodies that
dance in the suns rays there are GER
tainly particles of shooting stars.
The sands of the African deserts
when examined by microscope present
traces of very small iron particles
which seem to have been subjected to n
high temperature, and the Challenger

The Importanoe of Informing the Pub
lie of the Value Of an Article Through
the Leading Newspapers.
The few remedies which have at
tanned to worldwide fame, as truly
beneficial in effect and giving satisfac-
ton to millions OF people everywhere
are the products of the knowledge OF
the most eminent physicians, and pre-
scented in the form most acceptable to
the human system by the skill OF
the world 5 great chemists; and one OF
the most successful examples is the
Syrup of Figs manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. Unlike a
host of limitations and cheap substi-
tutes, Syrup of Figs is permanently
beneficial in its effects, and therefore
lives and promotes good health, while
inferior preparations are being cast
aside and forgotten. In olden times il
remedy gave temporary relief to in
dividuals here and there it was thought
good; but nowadays laxative remedy
must give satisfaction to all. II you
have never used Syrup of Figs, give it
trial, and you will be pleased with
it, and will recommend it to your
friends or to any who suffer from con-
stipation, or from overlooking, or from
colds, headaches, biliousnss, or other
ills resulting from an inactive condi-
ton of the kidneys, liver and bowels.
In the process of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California Fig Syrup Co., and named
Syrup of Figs, figs are used as they are
pleasant to the taste but the medici-
nal properties of the remedy are OBJ
tanned from an excellent combination
OF plants known to be incidentally lax
alive and to act most beneficially. AS
the true and original remedy, named
Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only, a
knowledge of that fact will assist in
avoiding the worthless limitations man
ufactured by other parties. The Com
pany has selected for years past the
leading publications of the United
States through which to inform the
public Of the merits of its remedy, and
among them tins paper is included, as
will be seen by reference to its adver.
/ tising columns.
