There is a mercantile and

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the 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 Syrup 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 Eig 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

Gen. Blanco cables to Madrid :

In the closing scenes of con

Ball, of Texas, a liar. The charge

hasty and inaccurate and the
Ball boomeranged back at the
Cannon’s mouth ; the last report
sounds as if the whole thing w; s
only a flash in the pan.

It still appears from accounts
f the recent naval victory that
rhe guns of Morro are by no
means silenced, It is said that ns
long as’the American vessels are
within its range the firing was
incessant. Morro’s gunners must
have more lives than a cat, or
else the fortifications must be
impregnable on the sea side. •
