An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-

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 it's 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

both of them. but the union idea seems
to have been accepted since by the peo-
pie OF both with practical unanimity.
OF course, there is no deficiency in
either population or wealth in this case
in the region affected. Each of the two
territories had, by the census count of

Is more common than we may think. IL
we define gluttony as eating beyond the
body's need of sustenance and beyond
the stomach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That Is tair
definition, and it fastens the name giut-

the term as an insult. The fact Of this
gluttony is marked by its consequences.
The overloaded stomach becomes dis
eased. The popular term for the condi-
