THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Life out of doors and out.of the games which they play and the enjoy
ment which they receive and the efforts which they make , comes the
greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their fltC
happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is
given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs
on which it acts , should be such as physicians would sanction , because its
component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents ,
well-informed , approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy ,
because of its pleasant flavor , its gentle action and its beneficial effects , is-r- fS > .
Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should 4 ' 'A.sVX'XV
be used by fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Fig-s is the only remedy which acts gently , pleasantly and
naturally without griping , irritating , or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually , without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations , and against
which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them
.A ' * k- grow to manhood and womanhood , strong , healthy and happy , do notgive
< > : § kvr < fc them medicines , when medicines are not needed , and when nature needs
assistance in the way of a laxative , give them only the simple , pleasant and
gentle Syrup of Figs.
Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices , but
' also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of
jr < -

Medicine Never Healed a Wound
Nature performs the healing process and medicine can only as
sist her in doing her work in healing wounds and throwing off
diseases. Nine-tenths of trie diseasesof man and beast have their
origin in some form of germs and if allowed to run and mul'iply
form complications. Tne reason that Liquid Koal prevents all
germs dieases and euros them , unless ferm-n ar.ion and iniUmma-
lion have too far developed , is that it contains every antiseptic
and ge-micida known to science. All germ diseases such cis hog
cholera , swine j hgue , corn stalk diseasestuhercolosis , blackleg and
numerous others can prevented by giving Liquid Koal in drink
ing water , i-eraiise they are germ diseases and no germ can live
where Liq-iid Koal reaches it. Liquid Koal is unaffected Dy the
gastric juices of the stomach , passes tnrough the i tesrinesand
from there into the circulation , permeating the whole system and
still retains all its germicial properties. Diluted with water , in
the proportion of one to one hundred , it makes the bess lice killer
known

York bar figures in many good stories ,
which have been collected in a volume , '
and from which the New York Sun
reproduces a few :
Ouce vtfhen he had failed to win a
case for a poor woman , he became
oratorical and lamented the lack of
justice in the world. "Me poor client , "
he said , "is little likely to get justice
done her until judgment day. "
"Well , Mr. Nolan , " said the court ,
"if I have opportunity , I'll plead for
the poor woman myself on that day. " j
"Your honor , " replied Nolan , "may
have troubles of your own on that
day. "
Mr. Nolan was once retained by the
defendant in a suit at law brought to
recover payment of a gas bill , in which
a witness for the plaintiff was asked :
"On what evidence do you conclude
that sixteen thousand seven hundred
and forty feet of gas had been burned
during the month by the defendant ? "
"On the evidence of the gas-meter , "
was the answer.
At this the barrister impulsively ex
claimed , "I wouldn't believe a gas-
meter under oath ! "
