Jfrofeaaor W. .T. ilcGee of the bru-
Iteau of ethnology , tells a good story
61 his lust trip to the land of the Se-
hs , the most dangerous of all Mexi-
kan tribe * . He was learning the
irords denoting relationship , such as
father , mother , then went on to child
fetid baby. He secured the correct
word lor baby in the Scri tongue
itiU also for twins ; but when he
jkskedfor , the ooe meaning triplets a
tuddsn change came over Ihe entire
group surrounding him. Every man ,
Iroman and child solemnly arose and
turning their hacks on him walked
kway. He then learned thai the ap
pearance of triplets JD a family was ,
among these Indians , a crime pun-
kpliuble with death to the father ,
toother aud many of the family , and
that the mere mention of such a hein
ous offense could not be tolerated in
polite society.Washlugon Star.

Delicately formed and gently reared , women will
find , in all tlie seasons of their lives , as maids or wives
or mothers , that the one simple , wholesome remedy
which acts gently and pleasantly and naturally , and
' which may be nsed with truly henelicial effects , under
H > >
any conditionswhen the system needs a laxativc--Is
Syrup of Figs. It is well known to be a simple com
bination of the laxative and carminative principles of
plants with pleasant , aromatic liquids , which are
agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable
to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired.
Many of the ills from which women suffer are of
a transient nature and do not come from any organic
trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so
promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs ,
but when anything more than a laxative is needed it
Is best to consult the family physician and to avoid
the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nos
trums of the present day. When one needs only to
remove tho strain , the torpor , the congestion , or
similar ills , which attend upon a constipated condi
tion of the system , use the true and gentle remedy-
Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from tho depres
sion , the aches and pains , colds and headaches , which
are due to inactivity of the bowels.
Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figa
can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guar
antee of the excellence of the remedy the full name
of the company California Fig Syrup Co. is
printed on the front of every package and without
it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs ij fraud
ulent and should be decl'ned. To those who know tho
quality of tliis excellent laxative , the offer of any
substitute , when Syrup of Figs is called for , is
always resented by a transfer of patronage to some
first-class drug establishment , whore they do not
recommend , nor sell false brands , nor imitation
remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all
reliable druggists everywhere at 50 cents per bottle.
