is flue not only to the orfginalitj’ and
simplicity of t he combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Svrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high, standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

“Forty Men ot Nerve.” and
first Lieutenant under Capt. H,
J. Stewart, ol inu’llu. City Ca
dets, proposes to lead them to
battle.
The. prompt shipment of 20,
000 light canvas suits for the
troops at Santiago will be a
godsend to those who battle un
der the tropical sun. Light cloth
ing saves many from death by
sunstroke. A full supply should
be read}’ for the second expedi
tion when it embarks, and with
out doubt this will be the case.
The name of the ex-Empress
Eugenie was Montijo. She was
born at Grananda,was the Span

be found that she was some re
lation to him.
