POINTED PARAGRAPHS. High Class Druggists AND - OTHERS. Vegetable Foods. Nuts are the vegetable ana’o- gues nt meat, eggs and milk. They present the choicest and most con centrated nutriment ot all food substances; they also contain a large proportion of albumen and fats, most nuts containing fifty per cent or more of an absolutely pure and easily-digested fat and hall as much protedia or albumen A pound of nuts contains nearly as much proteid .is a pound and a halt of beefsteak. Albumen and fat are the two most ■ ssential food substances—the most necessary elements for building fat and blood Nuts supply theie ele ments in more abundant quantity than do meats, and in a more nourishing form. Nuts possess all the qualities necessary to satisfy the normal palate, but unfortunate ly, in a raw state they are hard to digest. They may be easily pre pared in such a manner as to ren der them easily dig stible, bring ing out the flavors and wholesome properties they contain. Nuts can be eaten and digested by people who hove sound digestion and good teeth, but they should he emulsifi ed by thorough mastication.

"And the girl?" “I don't think she'd look at me but for that."—Kansas City Independent The better clafla of druggists, everywhere, .ire men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest 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 banding 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 cases of 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 the 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 be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity 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 tho 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 he 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 doe3 not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, ho is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it he larcre 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 be 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 druggists, of whom it may be purchased every where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but 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 hear the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on thejront 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 tfie better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices. i Scruggs-Carmichael.
