One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality andexcellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience thatit is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers: those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasonsfor the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be It said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the Mr, t M Genuine—Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.— plainly printedon the front of every package.

Mr. Hobbs looked thoughtfully st his city guest and then looked out o f the window. “ When you ask me If it’s true that Jim Manton is the most pop’lar boy I ’ve ever had to ’ten store and go round with the order wagon," he said, slowly, “ why, I ’m bound to tell you It’s so. But when you go on to ask me how I think he’d suit down In Boston, I ’m kind of dubious— that’s what I am, kind o f dubious. "You see, it’s like this with my busi ness. Order day is order day, and de livery day is delivery day, and wheth er it’s summer, with thutty-two cus tomers on the route, or winter, with— well, with some less, all Jim’s got to do those days Is to get over the route by shutting-up time. "And he’s what you might call a handy boy, Jim is. Groceries and hard ware aren't all he’s got In his mind, and he's ready to take hold and help with what's going on wherever he goes. So— I feel— kind of dubious when I think of Boston. I don't know as you catch my meaning?” "M-m,” said the city man. " I be lieve I do.” A K notty Question. j A F a ir ly Good Man. The Carthage (Mo.)
