.CK) TEE EXCELEKCE OF SYBDP 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 Sykup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Pigs 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 pa ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fia Sykcp 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.

" At least 200 people witnessed the mur der from the opposite side of the river. Evangelist Pan was suddenly and quick ly cut down. Mr. Fleming dismounted from his mule to go to his assistance but he, too, waa attacked and elain after a desperate conflict, in which he was dreadfully wounded with a sword and an iron spike.
