Gen. Longstreet has been

As Alfonso XII lay dying in

The Pope was physically the

tain that he will not long survive

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FKS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity o< the combination, but also
to the oare and skill with which it ia
manufactured by scientific processes
known t® the California Fie Byeup
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 sveidiug the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Sykup 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 oilier 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

The officer was, doubtless also a
bullfighter, else the bloodstains
are a mystery.
