1t must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neces-
sary to enable the best of the products OF
modern to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
heraldsd, they may not hope for worldwide
prominence unless they meet with the
general approval, not of individuals only,
but OF the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting. enjoying and learn
ing the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts. Their commentator. consequently.
becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements OF the well in
formed of all countries the method OF
manufacture must be of the most per-
feet order and the combination the most
excellent of its kind. The above is true

cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter OF a century OF
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted, throughout the world, as the
best of family ~laxatives. Its quality is
due not only to the excellence OF the
combination of the laxative and carmin-
alive principles of plants known to act
most beneicially on the system and pre-
scented in the form of a pleasant and re-
freshing liquid. but also to the method
Of manufacture Of the California Fig

ty and purity essential in a remedy in

clan who is well informed and he will

tenn he will tell you hat it Is the best
of family laxatives. because it Is SIM

sweetens the system ef~fectually. when
a laxative is needed, without any IN
pleasant after-effccts. Every well-in-
formed druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel
lent laxative and is glad to sell it, at
the regular price of fifty cents per bot
tie, because it gives general satisfac-
ton, but one should remember that in
order to get the beneficial effects of
Syrup Of Figs it is necessary to buy the

lily History.

An alarming state of affairs exists in a
Michigan town, where q sc.entist-and an
entoniologist at that-has been bitten by a
bug. If there is any one whom one would
imagie a bug would respect 1t would be an
entomologist, for he spends his life in the
uplifting OF the bug species; but is seems
not. says the st. PAUL Globe. This, how
ever, was an exaggerated case, as the
scientist in question went all the way to
Michigan from Washington to study into
the habits and haunt. Of the winter bug,
and it was the winter bug that bit him.
He was bitten en- the chin and soon lapsed
into a semi-conscious condition, and 1t IS
exceedingly doubtful whether be will ever
be able again to engage in the pleasant oc-
cupation Of chasing bugs. 1t was undobt-
edfy a bug that was not inosulated with
the modern spirit Of scientific investigs-
ton that bit the pr ,fessor; 1t resented
ANYBODY prying into its manner OF living
ard desired no assistance until 1t was
asked for. 1t can be fairly said that it was
the very best bite of the winter bug, and It
is to be hoped that the summer bug is OF
q kindlier natur and knows a little more
nbout modern science as she is now
worked.
