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-
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. 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 habituaI constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
OF 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 SIENNA 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

There has been a gold mine discovered
IN Wichita il is located at OBJ North

yard Of Mrs Halls residence about six
feet in diameter and about ten feet deep.
1t is said that there has been consider

IS Of great value. The report is that the
hole is being dug just for the run OF the
thing. but il is hardly probable that any
man would work So hard as all that jupst

there and the people in that part of the
city are so excited that they did not
know of anyone being dead within three

hearin that part Of town IS that gold has
been discovered and that everyone was
going TO dig for gold.
