The
Exceptional
Equipmenf

of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
beneicially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
AS there is only one genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA and as the gen.
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables
one to decline limitations or to return them

FROM LONDON llI-BlI3
AT a railway station the other day "a
gentleman from the country yielded
To the pressing solicitation Of a per
sistent newsboy and bought a penny
weekly paper.
But here was a difficulty-a shilling,
no change and the engine of the train
giving unmistakable evidence Of a
speedy departure.
The bargain was about to be Cancelled
when tine boy volunteered TO get the
shilling changed into pence.
But said the gent, perhaps you
will not return with the IL pence"
The boys face wore an injured look.
IF you are afraid to trust me, sir"
said he, and there was the least trace
of emotion In his voice. "you car have
the other IL copies as security"
Something susDiciously like moisture
came into the old mans eyes as he
glanced into the bright, open counte-
nance OF the boy, and he felt heartily
ashamed OF himself as he mechanically
held out his hand for the remaining
IL copies.
HI watched the little fellow az he
trotted down the platform till he sailed
round a r and was lost to sight.
Fifteen seconds later the engine gave
a final shrek and the train slowly
glided out OF the station.
The man glanced round at his fellow
passengers and handed a copy Of the
paper to each n from his pile.
He said nothing, but he seemed to be
thinking.

Our son, two years old, was aflict-
I'd with a rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks / took him
to the doctor, but it got worse. The
rash ran together and made large bis
tiers. The little fellow didn't want to
do anything but scratch and we had to
wrap his hands up to keep him from
tearing the flesh open till the blood
would run. The itching was intense.
The skin on his back became hard and
rough like the bark of a tree. He
suffered intensely for about three
lnoiShs. But / found a remedy in
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
The result was almost magical. That
was more than two years ago, and
