THE EXCELLENCE OF SYEUP OF FIGS
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 Syrup
Co. only, and we Wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing- the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pab
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia F19 Sykcp Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs hs
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

FILLS
A. LAWYER'S DARING ACT.
How He Risked. His Own Life to
Save That of a Client . "
In the Presence of the Jory Me Swal
lowed Deadly Poison But Was
Pumucd Ont and Won
His Case. -' '
, - .'v ' -
Two old-time Chicago lawyers were
talking the other day about some noted
cases which: had been tried In: Cook
craintT nnrl.nf the attornevs who had;
shone at the Chicago bar. The namej
and fame of "Billy" O'Brien, once one j
of the most eminent criminal lawyers i
that ever stood before a jury in this
state, came up and then, followed a
flood of stories about him.
"O'Brien," said one of the lawyers,
"defended in the Cook county criminal
courts, 260 people, and during all his
varied and exciting career never lost a
case.' ' He was one of the quickest men
to eee and take advantage of a point in
favor of his. client and when preesed to
the. wall would somehow squirm out
and make whdt seemed certain convic
tion a point for triumphant acquit
tal. . . - . .--
"O'Brien once had a client who was
m4 trial for murder and all the evi
dence had apparently gone to show con
clusively . that malice and the coolest
of deliberation- had prompted the pris
oner to "take the life of the victim. He
had administered poison. The elements
of the deadly drug had been .taken from
the decedent's stomach, and on being
analyzed were found to be identical
with the remainder of the poison in
the bottle, which was offered ; in: evi
dence and which stood before the eys
of 4-he. jury.- The horrid skull and
crossbones glared from the side of the
bottle which was turned toward the
12 men who were soon to decide whether
the prisoner at the bar was to live or
to be swung into eternity. The court
room was crowded with 4rf interest
ed throng, which was at a loss to know
what sort of an attempt O'Brien could
possibly make in behalf of his client.
"The state's attorney wag. just about
to close his opening argument and in
a few moments more the attorneys who.
had 'never lost a case would certainly
meet his Waterloo. ' But O'Brien was
not to give up without a "struggle. Ne
cessity inspired him, and he had already,
before the evidence was completed, pre
pared ah ou time of the manner in
which he would approach the jury.
''O'Brien knew a physician, an ex
pert chemist, whom he could trust, and
this man. had examined the poison, and
the attorney knew too well from his lips
that it would kill him. Furthermore,
he knew it was this drug that had
killed the person" for whose murder his
'. client was an trial. O'Brien called this
doctor into the seclusion of a private
room and said: ' . :
. "Doctor, this is a desperate case. Tell
me candidly and to a certainty how
long I' can live after drinking the re
mainder' of the poison in that bottle?"
" 'Why, O'Brien, you couldn't live mors
than three minutes.' .
fThe face of the great criminal law
yer lighted up and he saw hope that he
might yet win the case.
" 'Three minutes, said he, 'that is
enough.' .""
"Then it was finally nrranged that
the doctor should be in waiting for the
attorney Ater the latter had got
through with his argument. He took a
station in- an adjoining room, where
O'Brien'' could quickly reach him and
waited with his preparations' to coun- I
teract the poison. The state's attorney j
closed his argument with an apparent
triumph, the hangman's rope was al
most dangling before the eyes of the
prisoner: Everyone in the courtroom
craned his neck as 0'Briem rose and
faced the jury. All were surprised to
see the calm and confident look which
clothed his face. . It seemed impossible
that he could have any hope of acquit
tal or even of saving his client's life.-
He paid more attention to the medical
witnesses than he did to the others and
labored, to break 'down , their , testi
mony. ". .
"After a pretty good argument from
the facts which he had to work upon
he drew his address toward atlose and.
picking up the bottle which contained j
-the remainder of the drug, held it so ;
the 12 men could see it. - !
" 'Now, gentlemen,' said the attorney,
as he paused and significantly looked
at the bottle, 'just to show you that'
this is not the deadly poison which the
witnesses for the state have said it is,
I will drink it and prove that itis harm
less.' . - . '
"There wasn't a "person in the room
whose hair did not stand on end and the
people sat as motionless as if death had
grasped them. ,; O'Brien confident-and
composed, raised the bottle, to his lips,
drained it to the bottom, set.it on the
table and, as coolly as if he had been
6ipping wine, turned to the men' in,
whose hands the life of the prisoner
rested and said: ' j .' '
" 'Gentlemen of the jury, I thank you
very kindly for the attention which you
have given to my argument.' '
"Then, making .a graceful bow, he
walked quietly from the. room. ; This
much the juryand audience saw, but
the physician in waiting knew the rest.
By the use of antidotes, emetics and
skillful use of the stomach-pump, he
had in a few minutes removed all the
poison from O'Brien's - stomach " and
quickly the lawyer came back into the
room, coolly sat down, and listened tc
