Tennesseean.

CHATTANOOGA, Feb. %. - Walter
Headrick, one of the most prominent
young men of the state, son of the
late L. B. Headrick. one of the pioneers
of Tennessee, was taken to Erlanger
hospital late last night, violently in
insane. He is a society leader of more
than local reputation, chairman of
Democratic county executives co7nmlt-
tee and has been deputy clerk and mas
ter in chancery for nine years.
The clerk and master lately resigned
and Headrick hoped to succeed to the
place, for which he had especially pre-
pared himself and had the unanimous
endorsement of the bar. A son-in-law
of the chancellor secured the place, and
disappointment is said to be the cause
of his insanity.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP Or 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 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 it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
