An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFoRTIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value Of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles Of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
themi 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 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
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

The man who can hardly crawl, and
has lust strength to get through days
work, has no strength left for family
life. He wants to be quiet; to be alone,
out of sight and sound of everybody.
What a difference between such
man and the healthy, hearty man, who
ronps with his children and rides his
laughing baby to vBanbury Cross"
What makes the difference? Usually
disease of the stomach, involving the
entire digestive and nutritive system.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery

organs Of digestion and nutrition. When
these diseases are cured the hindrance to
the proper nourishment of the body Is
removed and strength comes back again.

 .-The postofice officials at Washington, D.. C. have just ruled that subscrip- ton to any publication, entered as sec Ond class matter, must be discontinued, when the time for which 1t is paid ir advance has expired.
 That Is such a radical ruling and di- rectly opposite to a. law and previous rulings, that 1t means complete change and revolution in the publishing business. This ruling will greatly reduce the cir cuiation of nearly all papers and cause the withdrawal of many advertisements until lower rate is put into effect, This vitally affects you for it prohibits extending credit to vour subscribers, and reduces your circulation and value to advertisers. Any violation of this will deprive the publisher of his pound rate"
 Postmasters will immediately notify all publishers in their resoActiVe cities that the statements made in the above quo tation are untrue, and misrepresent the and that there has been no such change in the rules or practice with regard to subscriptions to legitimate second class publications as is represented.
 The report grows out of d ruling in an individual case of d New York pub llcation which was carrying an enormous list of expired subscriptions which were largely first induced by premiums, and where due notice had been given to the subscriber, who had failed to renew or to. order continuance with a promise to pay. expressed or implied.
