There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness art- not due to any' actual disease. but simply to a constipated condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative. Svrupof Figs, promptly removes. That is why it is the only remedy w-ith millionsof 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. It is therefore all important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note when you purchase. that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, aud the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, 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. b LZ. wSISf Mr. .1. T. Jones, who lives in Sharpsburg, Ky„ in an interview with Mr. J. C. Nelson, editor and proprietor of the Hath County World, published at Sharpsburg, Ky., on the 24th of May, 1885, suidi “1 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. Sleeplessness and nervousness set in, and at times I was so melancholy aud out of sorts that life was a burden. An advertisement in our local paper induced me to give Ripaus Tabule* a trial. I did so. The first box made a decided change for the better, and six boxes have com- I pletely cured me. I can say for Itipans Tabules, it is, in my opinion, the best medicine for constipation on earth. It accomplished for me what all other remedies failed to do. lam 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 Wjs for years previous. (Signed) “J. T.

It resulted iu squelching both th* gold plank offered by the majority atod the silver plank submitted by the minority of the resolutions committm. nnd the aub(titution tnerefor of the money plank of the Minneapolis platform of 181(2. McKinley was indorsed most unequivocally and the delegates were strongly Instructed in his favor. Four delegates-at-large were elected, two of them without contests. The financial plank was as follows: We are unyielding nnd uncompromising In Our demands for sound and hones: money. We are In favor of the use of gold aud silver and patter dollars In our currency, all to be maintained at a parity as to their purchasing and debt paying power. We are opposed to luy provision that will Invite depreciation of toy portion of our currency, and. therefore, we are opposed to the free mid unlimited coinage of sliver by this country alone under present conditions, and we believe that such ii course would destroy the parity or aud contract the currency.
