AST SAT TEE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF HQS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Sybtjp Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Fig's is manufactured by the California Fio Sybup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding1 the worthless imitations manufactured by other pa ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fjo Svkup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without- irritating or weaken ing them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate. In order to get its beneficial effects, please remember the name of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. SAX FRANCISCO, Cal. XOTTISVILLE. Kr- NEW YORK, W. Y.

It's Soman Nature. This readiness to accept the wonderful and miraculous in preference to com monplace truth. A plausible and glib- tongued doctor can go from town to town curing, or trying to cure, people, and have a great influx of shekels, while every community in which the so-called doctor goes is supplied with quiet, learned practitionore, who have forgotten more than the fakir ever learned, and they can give you the best treatment within the reach of human knowledge.. While your home doctors carry you from year to year, get up at all times of the night and are your servants during the d?y, and you pay them when you are well or able, the fakir gets the cash, and is gone forever. If your eyes are troub ling you in any way, call cn Prof. P. G. Daut, the only graduated optician or doctor of refraction in The Dalles, two doom west of Keller's bakery. I am here to stay, and guarantee all eye work. Pkof. P. G. Daut. A Sure Sign of Croup. Hoarseness in a child that is subject to crcup is a Bure indication ot the ap proach of the disease. If Chamberlain s Cough Remedy is given as soon aa the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough has appeared, it will pre vent the attack.
