Out Of the Grab Bao.

AT a church fair in Pottstown the
other night they had a 'grab-bag."
A miller paid a dime and plunged
his hand into the great bag OF turkeys,
pumpkins, tins of %scrapple and chains
Cf sausages. He drew out a card that
contained these words:
GOOD FOR ONE GRAVE.
Not Transferable.
James Dust.
The church's aged grave-digger, hav-
ing nothing else to subscribe to the
grabbing. had subscribed a grave-dig-
ging. The miller has hung the quaint
card in a frame over his desk and vows
that if he dies before James Dust his
grave shall be dug for nothing.

General Demand

of the Well Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for it's remark.
able success.
That is n Of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine--manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

There is more Catarrh in this section C
the country than all other diseases put to-

years doctors pronounced 1t a local disease

pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease ana
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Why Sloan's Liniment and Vet
Urinary Remedies Are the Best

hbuh NV
to Use.
Let me tell you why Sloan's Lini-
ment and Veterinary Remedies are the
safest and most practical on the mar
ket to-day. In the first place, DR.. Earl
S. Sloan Is the son Of a veterinary sur
geon. n from his earliest infancy he
was associated with horses.
He bought and sold horses while yet
very young. He practiced as a veteri-
nary for twenty years, and has battled
successfully with every disease to
which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result Of ex-
periments made to save life or relieve
suffering while he was practicing his
profession.
Any reader, by writing to DIR. Earl
s. Sloan, 615 Albany street, Boston,
Mass. will receive "Sloan's Treatise on
the Horse" free. This book tells how
to treat horses, cattle, hogs, and poul'
try.
