Mr J T Jones who lives in
Sharpsburg Ky in an interview
with Mr J C Nelson editor and
proprietor of the Bath County
World published at Sharpsburg
Ky on the 24th of May 1S95 said
I attribute all disorders of the
system to the stomach when the
stomach is all right we are well
and happy For a long time I
suffered from the worst form of
habitual constipation Sleepless
ness and nervousness set in and at
times I was so melancholy and out
of sorts that life was a burden
An advertisement in our local paper
induced me to give Ripans Tabules
a trial I did so The first box
made a decided change for the
better and six boxes have com
pletely cured me I can say for
Ripans Tabules it is in my opinion
the best medicine for constipation
on earth It accomplished for me
what all other remedies failed to
do I am all right now sleep well
and life is worth living I believe
the Tabules put my stomach in
shape and the stomach did the rest
My general health is better than it
was for years previous
Signed J T JONES

How Opium Was Forced on China
The conflict known as the Opium
War by which the Chinese govern
ment was compelled to permit the en
trance of foreign opium within its lim
its began in 1840 and continued two
years The circumstances leading to it
lated from the last century when War
ren Hastings then governor general of
India determined to find a market for
the opium of the Ganges valley For
many years it was smuggled Into Chi
na but the Emperors discovering the
evil it was doing took rigid measures
to prevent this From time to time
however cargoes of opium found their
way inland until in 1839 a special com
missioner was sent to Canton where
the British had a foothold with orders
to exterminate the business He did
so thoroughly drove out the British
merchants and destroyed 10000000
worth of opium then In stock The
British government took up the cause
of the merchants sent a fleet and mili
tary force from India and in the war
that followed the Chinese were worst
ed were compelled to pay a large In
demnity to reimburse the owners of
the opium destroyed and to open cer
tain ports to all English products

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
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system which the pleasant
family laxative Syrup of Figs prompt
ly removes That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of 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
organs on which it acts Itis therefore
all important in order to get its bene
ficial effects to note when you pur
chase that you have the genuine article
which is manufactured by the California
Fig S3rup Co only and sold by all rep
utable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health
and the system is regular then laxa
tives or other remedies are not needed
If afflicted with any actual disease one
may be commended f he most skillful
physicians but if in need of a laxative
then one should have the best and with
the well informed everywhere Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction
The many imitations of
HIRES Rootbeer simply
point to its excellence the
genuine article proves it

The Cork Tree
The removal of the bark from the
eork tree If properly done does not
affect the vitality of the plant because
only the outer layer of dead bark
which has already fulfilled its purpose
in the trees economy Is taken away
The operation is first performed when
the tree is about fifteen years old and
if carefully done may be repeated every
ten years The tree lives from 100 to
200 years and the quantity of bark lb
increased with age although the qual
ity remains about the same There are
plantations of cork trees in Portugal
which are known to have been in exist
