A Sixteenth tentiirz Winter That

The story Is told lu Jouhcrt’s "Popu

lished at Bordeaux, France, In 1571).
tlmt one Gonolle, a Jester at the court
of the Duke of Ferrara, Insisted once
upon a time tlmt the trade which had
the most followers was that of doctor.
To prove Ids assertion he left Ids home
one morning to go to the palace with
Ills nightcap on and Ills Jaws wrapped
up. The first person he met stopped
him with the question, "What Is the
matter with you. Gonolle?" "A terrible
toothache." “Oh, Is that all? I’ll tell
you what will cure It.” And every per
son lie met had some advice to give
him. ,
Will'll the Jester reached the duke’s
chamber, the same question und an
swer were repeated. "All," said the
prince, "I know of something that will
take the pain rigid away.” Gonolle
Instantly threw up Ids kerchief, saying:
"And you, too, monselgneur, are a doc
tor? I have only passed through one
street In coming from my house to you
nml have collided more than ‘_’"d of
them. I believe I could llnd 10,000 In

It. Tho sun, they say, Is the eye of the

the "lessor god." All the stars were
once the left optics of human beings of

once ate the eye of a valiant chief,
thinking thereby to Increnae the bril

eye burned through Shungle’s belly

High Glass Druggists
‘ AND - 0THER5.
The better class of ilrueeists. everywhere, are men of scientific attainments anti high integrity,
who devote their Jives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and
pure.-t medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians’ prescriptions and
scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but
always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines.
They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes
all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and
best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances.
The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits
conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest
reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of
Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they
are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest
remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full
name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package.
They know that in ca-es ( ,f colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and
of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or
over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as
Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction.
Owing to tho excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the
immense demand for it. imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are
individual druggists to ho found, here and there, who do not maintain the ditrnitv and principles
of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate
to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations
sometimes have the name—“ Syrup of Figs”—or "Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern,
or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of
the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations
should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations
they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes
off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which
does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package,
he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his
establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and
and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of
physicians’ prescriptions, and should he avoided by every one who values health and happiness.
Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand
for our excellent remedy entirely through the druegists, of whom it may he purchased every
where, in original packages onlv, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, hut as exceptions
exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return
any imitation which may he sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company—
California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the
article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of
druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices.

Republicanism for the
South.
Forty years ago liie people of
the Smith were stalled against the
proposition “to accept the situa
tion”—to realize their defeat and
submit to reconstruction ot their
Mates and governments by a ram
pant at d ruthless R publican party
in full control of the government.
Now, the tables are turned com
pletely. It is up to the Repub i
can party "to acct pt the situation”
as it finds it in these southern
states and submit to the political
conditions which the white Demo
cracy of the solid south has estab
lished tor the protection of our
people and the salvation of our 1
civilization.
This fact is bringing to the from !
a new Republicanism for the south.
The Republicans in North Caro-!
Itna have been put forward to lead ;
the way. They are “to accept the
situation” in North Carolina, as
the Democrats have made it, in- :
eluding negro disfranchisement
and the “grandfather” clause, and
fight for Republican principles on
Democratic premises.
It is a bold and interesting ven-,
ture and the results of it will be
watched for with intense interest
from all parts of the country. If
the Republicans of North Caro
lina, by occupying Democratic
ground, can succeed in winning to
its standard enough white voters
to down the Democratic party in j
the state, then will come the de- j
luge, sure enough!
Then, every southern state will j
see a revival of Republicanism of :j
the “lily white” brand. The col- ]
ored brother will be told that he j,]
must look out for himself under
the laws as they are and will re
main, even under Republican con
trol, and the white people will be 1
asked to join the new Republican
ism in making constitutional white
supremacy in the south absolute
and interminable.
The Democrats of the south
must realize that they will have
this sort of an enemy to meet in
the near future and find a way to
do so successfully.—Atlanta Nt ws.
