FAME AND EXCELLENCE ARE DE TERMINING FACTORS IN SUCCESSFUL - CESSFUL DEVELOPMENT. One of the Important Functions of Iliili Clnsa Tn presenting interesting phases of sci entific and economic problems , high-class newspapers frequently give information of as great value in their advertising columns - umns as in those devoted to the publica tion of the principal events of the day ; and wheu the fame of a product is ex tended beyond its natural limits into for eign lauds , and a large demaud created throughout Great Britain and her colonies nies and the principal seaports and cities of Europe , Asia and Africa , it becomes a pleasant duty to note the fact and to tell of the points of excellence on which eo great a success is based. We refer to the now world-famed laxative remedy. Syrup of Figs , the product of the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Company. The merits of this well-known excellent laxative were first made known to the world through the medical journals and news | papers of the"1 United States ; and is one ' of the distinct achievements of the pres * . 1 It is now well known that Syrup of Figs Is an ethical proprietary remedy , approv ed by the most eminent physicians every where , because it is simple and effective , yet pleasant to the taste and acceptable to the system , and not only prompt in its beneficial effects , but also wholly free from any unpleasant after-effects. It is frequently referred to as the remedy of the healthy , because it is used by people who enjoy good health and who live well and feel Well and are well informed on nil subjects generally , including laxatives. In order to get its beneficial effects , it is necessary to get the genuine Syrup of Pigs , which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. ouly. We seldom nhd people ungrateful as long as we are in a condition to render 'horn services. Rochefoucauld. IHE ills of women overshadow their whole lives.

I suffered for two years with female weakness and at last became bedfast. Three of our best doctors did me no good so I concluded to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. After taking a few bottles of your medicine , I was able to do all my house work.

"I have used it in ca es of female ir regularities and weak nerves common to the sex , and have found it most satisfac tory. " From early girlhood to the end of the child-bearing period few women are en tirely free from some degree of catarrh of the pelvic organs.

To the great sorrow of ueen Victoria and of all the royal family of England , the young Duke of Albany has Inher ited the pronounced tendency of epi lepsy from his father , whose entire life , so prematurely ended , it ' served to blight. / It had been hoped thst the young prince , who has recently been a school mate at Eton of young Astor and of other American lads being educated at the 000-year-old college , had escaped the affliction. But during the past few mouths he has developed unmistakable signs of the malady , and recently had his first fit , which was of such an alarming character that he was at once removed by orders of the doctors to his mother's home at Claremont a full week before the end of the term. Nor is it likely that he will return to Eton. The affair is all the more sad as the boy is bright , merry and popular , with a very keen sense of humor. In fact , mentally he bids fair to resemble his father , who , in spite of his phenomenal ly delicate health , was the most intel lectually brilliant and far and away the most accomplished of all the sons of Queen Victoria. It may be remembered that the late Duke of Albany met with his death in a particularly sliocking fashion , having first lacerated himself with a pair of sharp-pointed scissors and then rolled downstairs while in the throes of a most violent fit. It is to be hoped that his son , the young duke , may be pre served from an analogous fate. But unfortunately , epilepsy is one of those ailments for which there is little or no cure , and all the hopes which had been entertained with regard to the military career of the royul lad will necessarily have to be abandoned. \n Optical Delusion.
