One of the Important Functions of

Tn presenting interesting phases of sci
entific and economic problems , high-class
newspapers frequently give information
of as great value in their advertising columns -

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.

her life. She says :
" I cannot thank you enough for
what your medicine has done for me.
I can recommend it as one of the best
medicines on earth for all women's
ills. 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

Remedy for Female
Catarrh.
MRS. CLARA MAKKMER.
Mrs. Clara Makemcr , housekeeper for
the Florence Crittenden Anchorage Mis
sion of Chicago , writes the following let
ter from 30- Chestnut street , Chicago :
"Peruua is the best tonic I have ever
known for general debility , a sure cure
for liver complaint , and a never failing
adjuster in cases of dyspepsia.
"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.
With Peruua the thousand and one ail
ments dependent upon catarrh of the
pelvic organs can be wholly averted.

The Empress and Her Stable.
The Empress of Germany takes a
keen interest in her private stables and
in the riding lessons of her sons. Her
majesty makes a point of having a
daily ride , and when the weather is bad
she takes it in the riding school. The
empress always likes to be there when
her younger sous are having their rid
ing lesson , and often she will herself
show them how to do what is being
taught'them. At reviews the empress
rides a very tall horse ; on ordinary oc
casions her mount is a black horse , and
for hunting she prefers a handsome
chestnut , which is very quiet and a
good jumper. Generally she is accom
panied in her drives by the emperor'for
she rarely drives out alone. Her special
carriage is painted blue and black , but
all the others belonging to the court are
red and black.

AN AFFLICTED PRINCE.
Grandson of Queen Victoria the Vic
tim of > pHcppy.
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.
