lence on which so great success Is based.
We refer to the now world famed laxative
remedy, Syrup OF Figs, the product OF the
California Fig Syrup Company The merits
OF this well-known excelle nt laxative were

United States; and Is one OF the distinct
achievements OF the press. 1t Is now VIII
known that Syrup OF Figs is an ethical
proprietary remedy, approved by the most
eminent physicians everywhere, because 1t

the taste and acceptable to the system, and
not only prompt in its beneficial effects,
but also wholly free from any unpleasant
after-effects. 1t Is frequently referred to as
the remedy OF the healthy, because 1t Is
used by people who enjoy good honlth and
who live we'll and feel we'll and are we'll
informed on all subjects generally, fnclud-
ing laxatives. In order to get Its beneficial
effects, 1t is necessary to get the genuine

Money in Pearls.

The annual harvest of pearls at
Panama will average value of about
$3.50, 900. Pearl oysters are fonnd in
all parts OF Panama Bay. Two years
ago an ordinary fisherman found one
dear Taboga Island, not more than
half mile from the regular steamship
anchorage, that containeda pearl worth
$1,000, but the largest beds are about
thirty miles from the city. The oys-
ters are much larger than those found
in northern waters, and the shells are
even larger still. The oysters are rank
and coppery, but are healthful, and
are eaten by the natives. The smaller
ones are often brought to the Panama
market.
