MANY, MANY DOCTORS. A Sixteenth tentiirz Winter That MIkIiI He Won Totlnx. The story Is told lu Jouhcrt’s "Popu lar Errors (’oncoming Medicine," pub 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 the city." Whether the story Is true or false, It could lie told again la our days, mid G molle would win Ills wager without dispute.

Tho sun, they say, Is the eye of the "greater god” and tho moon tho eye of the "lessor god." All the stars were once the left optics of human beings of high rank. Hhuugle, a celebrated chief, once ate the eye of a valiant chief, thinking thereby to Increnae the bril liancy of Ids own “eye star." But the eye burned through Shungle’s belly nml killed him, whereupon Ills own left eye became joint'd to the one ho hud eaten, and the two may now be seen as a beautiful double slur lying Just to the east of the Bout hern Cross. 1,11| 111 it Corn.

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. Jew 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.
