ingly, it is not claimed 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 a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection

effects always purchase the genuine

Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug

those who are distressed in many
ways, by drinking coffee. The wife
writes:

me, was more helpless than /, coffee
captive. Yet there were innumerable
warnings waking from a troubled
sleep with feeling of suffocation, at
times dizzy and out of breath, at
tacks of palpitation of the heart that
frightened me.

better judgment told me that coffee
drinking was the trouble. At last my

that my physician ordered no more

Bells,

Bells are understood to have had
their origin in China, but at so remote
a time that no precise date can be
given. Their first use was to clear the
air of evil spirits and to drive off the
storms. Old European records tell
how the tolling of bells kept the
devils from assaulting believers;
hence their connection with churches.
Bells may be traced in Europe back
to the sixth century, but were not
generally introduced into the western
church much before the eighth GEN.
