Brings comfort and improvement nnu
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet-
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by jnore promptly
adapting the world's best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable und pleas-
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax-
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
ana permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid-
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak-
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Fisrs is for sale by all drug-
gists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man-
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

The prospect of relief from droettc cathartics
for persons troubled with constipation Is poor
indeed. True they act upon the bowe'.s.but this
they do with violence,und their operation tends
to weaken the intestines, and is prejudicial to
the stomach. Hostetter's Stomach Hitters is au
effectual laxative, but it neither gripes nor en-
feebles. Furthermore, it promotes digestion
and a regular action of the liver and kidneys.
It is an efficient barrier against remedy for ma-
larial complaints aud rheumatism, and is of
great benetit to the weak, nervous and agod.
As a medical stimulant it can not be surpassed.
Physicians cordially recommend it. and its
professional indorsement Is fully borne out by
popular experience. Appetite and sleep are
both improved by this agreeable invigorant
aud alterative.

Deafness Can Not be Cureil
by local applications, as they can not 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 condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tub© is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it Is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
tukeu oat and this tube restored to its nor-
mal condition, hearing will bo destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in-
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will Rive One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that can not bo cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

"Jeminv crickets, she's got the
rickets," whispered one beau to an-
other in the company of a very pretty
girl. Truly she was very beautiful,
but there was a twitching about the
nerves of the face which showed suf-
fering. "No," said the other "it's
neuralgia and she's a martyr to it."
St. Jacobs Oil was suggested as the
world-renowned cure for it. Did she
try it? Yes and was cured by it and
—married "one of the fellows" after-
wards. The use of the great remedy
for ptrin will not bring about a mar-
riage, but in its cure of pain it will
bring about conditions of health to
make life more enjoyable. No man
or woman ought to marry who is a suf-
ferer from chronic pains. We should

A Little Incident Noticed by a Crowd
of Sympathetic New Yorker..
It was 9 o'clock in the morning at
one of the east side docks, which was
crowded with people waiting for a
sound boat. Suddenly there was a
cry from those nearest the water, and,
is all rushed in that direction, the
first object they saw was a child's
head rising and falling with the
waves, the hair streaming out like a
mass of seaweed. She did not sink,
yet every now and then the yelling
Spectators could plainly see her strug-
le as the cruel waves broke over her.
owboat was heading toward the
Brooklyn shore, and it seemed as if it
must have passed over the spot, hut
the oarsman's attention was doubtless
elsewhere, for he neither heard the
cries nor turned toward tho perishing
child, says the Now York Tribune.
Suddenly one of the hangers-on of
tho boat landing plunged in and parted
the waves with sturdy strokes as he
quickly approached the child. Ho
reached her and, resting her hand on
his strong back, began the return.
Cheers greeted him as it became evi-
dent that his brave deed was not dona
in vain. At this point one of the
loafers took off his hat and, passing
in and out among the crowd, requested
a contribution "for Bill's sake." Ev-
erybody felt that "Bill" should be re-
warded, and soon the hat had a good
lining of coin. As I10 finished his col-
lection and stood hat in hand atten-
tion was divided between himself and
tho approaching swimmer. Suddenly
ho mounted a pilo of rope and gazing
into the hat began to speak. "Friends,
az I look at wots in dis hat deres
notin bigger dan a quarter. Now,
most of youze is rich and how many
would a dun wot Bill did fer a quar-
ter? lie/, got a wife an' five children
ter home, and risked hiz life fer de
kid. Izo a poor man, but I kin go
more dan dat." So saying ho thrust
an exceedingly grimy hand into an
apparently empty pocket and brought
forth a dollar bill which I10 laid in the
hat. His words had a salutary effect
upon tho crowd, men pressing for-
ward on all sides, and soon copper
was replaced by silver, and silver by
bills. So that when the head of the
hero appeared above the pier, bearing
in his arms the (.Gripping child, quite a
comfortable sum awaited him. He re-
ceived it with a modesty which made
all hearts warm toward him.
The event probably would never
have been remembered, except for an
incident a few weeks later. One of
the spectators was on the west side
awaiting a friend, when he saw tho
same tragedy enacted—tho drowning
child, the heroic rescue, tho magnani-
mous speech and tho second collec-
tion. And not only was the play tho
same, but tho actors were also.
Explosion.
Substances liable to explosion are,
as it were, says Professor C. A.
Mitchell, in a state of unstable equili-
brium, and often a slight cause is
sufficient so to disturb that equili-
brium that a fresh arrangement of the
particles takes place—in other words,
an explosion. A somewhat analogous
instance of instability, he adds, is
seen in the ease 01 water cooled slow-
ly below its freezing point, without
solidifying, as occasionally happens in
bedroom pitchers. When tho pitcher
is lifted the movement destroys tho
equilibrium, and the water suddenly
becomes ice.

GOLDEN
MEDICAL
DISCOVERY
Many years rj?o Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., com-
pounded this medicine of vegetable ingredi-
ents which had an especial effect upon the
stomach and liver, rousing the organs to
healthful activity as well as purifying and
enriching the blood. By such means the
stomach and the nerves are supplied with
purr blood; they will not do duty without it
any more than a locomotive can run with-
out coal. You can not get a lasting cure of
Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, by taking arti-
ficially digested foods or pepsin—the stom-
ach must do its own work in its own way.
Do not put your nerves to sleep with so-
called celery mixtures, it is better to go to
the seat of the difficulty and feed the nerve
cells on the food they require. Dyspepsia,
Indigestion, Biliousness and Nervous Af-
fections, such as sleeplessness and weak,
nervous feelings are completely cured by
the " Discovery." It puts oil healthy flesh,
brings refreshing sleep and invigorates the
whole system.
Mrs. K. Henkk, of No. 8)6 North HaUted St.,
Chicago. ///., writes. "I regard my improve-
ment a s simply
wonderful. Since
taking Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Dis-
covery in connection
with his ' Pleasant
Pellets ' I have gain-
ed in every respect,
particularly in flesh
and strength My
liver was dreadfully
enlarged and 1 ui-
fered greatly from
dyspepsia. No phy-
sician could give
relief.
Now, after two
months I am entire-
ly relieved of my
disease. My appe-
tite is excellent;
food well digested ;
much improved."

water winners.
