TEE EXCELLENCE OF SYBCP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
' simplicity of the combination, but also
io 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
nil the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California. Fig Sybup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pak
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fi-s Syrup 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

' large vinyards, spoke on "Packing Fruit
from a California Standpoint." Although
loyal to iiis own state, be said that he
cnust cbntess Oreeon can compare with
any etate in the Union as a fruit state,
nd wae the superior of California in
producing applea, strawberries and
prunes; but hesitated to make her
-equal in peaches and grapes. '
in packing fruit, the orchardist should
first consider whether the price in the
East will justify him in the expense in
. car red in shipping. Otherwise it were
better to dry your fruit. Second, be
should bear in mind to choose the larg
. est and beat for shipment, flavor being a
eecondary matter. No fruit measuring
less than two and a half inches should
e shipped, and all should be gathered
311st before it ripens. After wrapping
carefully in tissue paper, pack in twenty
five pound boxes and ship in re'rigerator
cars. He has found the Earl Fruit' Co.
to be very reliable. Many have tried to
vod commission men, but be finds he
..cannot get along without tliem."
JPrsit Xckenv then brought up the
.fuJctiun'M to flVOr, saying that he duj
not ajrree with the speaker, but thought
much attention Bhould be given the
matter of flavor, and asked if that was
:"pt the reason for the-complaint agamt
-flavorless California fruit. Prof. Phil
lips said the reason for this is that the
fruit was picked green and allowed to
ripen on the way,' and then asked how
be thought it could be remedied. A
great deal of amusement was caused by
Prof: Leckenby's answer, when he said
the only way out of the difficulty was to
Taise the fruit in Oregon or Washington
The last speaker was Prof. Leckenby,
who was to speak on "Grasses on the
Arid R'gion." On acobunt of the late
ness 01 the hour he made but a few re
marks. The professor does not favor
u aimer fallowing, recommending rather
' that uitrogenous plants be substituted,
s summer fallo lessens the nitrogen
He would not favor planting grass, but
peae, beans, clover, etc., . unless the
3&ad be arid, when bermuda grass is
preferable. He has tt firm belief that by
etaiy and experiments grasses may be
foaud which can be planted on our
barren hills and will flourish and feed
our numerous herds.
In closing, Dr. Sanders said he be
lieved if the institute bad been more
widely advertised, a large attendance
. would have been secured. - He also
promised if the gentlemen would visi
as again he would insure them a large
institute. .

Deafness Cannot be Cared.
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the -diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound'or
imperfect hearing, ' and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever : nine casss out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.

Doctors Can't
Cure It!
Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors! They
may dose a patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease ; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. S. S. is the only cure
lor this terrible affliction, because it is
the only remedy which goes direct to
the ' cause of the disease and forces it
from the system. . - -I
ras afflicted with Blood Poison, and the
best doctors did me no good, though I took
tneir treatment laitn
fully. In fact, I seemed
to get worse all the
while. I took almost
every so-call e d blood
remedy, but they did not
seem to reach the dis
ease, and had no effect
whatever. 1 was dis-
'J'SJK heartened, for it 6eemed
"'I that I would never be
f. i cured. At the advice of
a friend I then took
ana ftnd twran folTn-
irove. I continued the
medicine, and it cured me completely, build
ing up my health and increasing my appetite.
Although this was ten years ago, I have never
yet hada sign of the disease to return.

' It is like self-destruction to continue
to take potash and mercury; besides
totally destroying the digestion, they
dry up the marrow in the bones, pro
ducing a stiffness and swelling of the
joints, causing the hair to fall out, and
completely wrecking the system.
