that Syrup Of Figs and Elixir Of
SIENNA is the only remedy Of known
value, but one Of many reasons why
It is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal
organs on which it acts without any
debilitating after effects and without
having to increase the quantity from
time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all
Objectionable substances. To get its
beneficial effects always purchase the

II was the signal.
Along the line OF entertainments

forctcll the result.

hopes of hearing the encouraging cries
that would proclaim the coming OF re-
Inducements from Sherman. but un-

too late. since his handful Of men
could not long hold their own against
