Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts—gentle efforts —pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in i
the knowledge, that so many forms of '
sickness are not due to any’ actual dis- L
ease, but simply to a constipated condi- '
tion of the system, which the pleasant '
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- 1
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial ;
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal ■
cleanliness without debilitating the i
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene- |
ficial effects, to note when you pur- i
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
Csed and gives most general satisfaction.

WW Imufsion
Is the standard emulsion the
world over. There is not a
man, woman or child who is
run down or emaciated or has
weak lungs that Scott’s Emul
sion will not benefit. When
you ask for it you will likely
be told by the druggist that
he has an emulsion “ just as '
good.” It is not true. No
emulsion is as good.
Scott’s Emulsion has bene
fited millions of people. Ask
your druggist if he can refer
you to a single case that has
been helped by the unknown
emulsion he sells, and if so,
we will send you a book giving
thousands of cases. You want
the standard; not something
that nobody knows anything
about.

Somewhat “Muxed.”
“I will tell you how it is,” said
the member of Nemo Council. “I
met a young widow with a grown
up step-daughter, and I married
that widow.
“Then my father met our step
daughter and married her. That
made my wife the mother-in-law
of her father-in-law and made my
stepdaughter my stepmother, and
my father became my stepson.
See?
“Then my stepmother, the step
daughter of my wife, had a son.
That boy was, of course, my broth;
er, because he was my father’s son
but he was also the son of my
wife’s stepdaughter, and therefore
her grandson. That made mo
grandfather of my stepbrother.
Then my wife had a son.
“My mother-in-law, the stepsis
ter of my son, is also his grand
mother, because he is her stepson’s
child. Aly father is the brother
in-law of my child, because his
stepsister is his wife. I am tho
brother of my own son, who is also
the child of my grandmother. I
am my mother’s brother-in-law,
my wife is her own child’s aunt,
my son is my father’s nephew, and
I’m my own grandfather.”
