Jest and laughter in a recent club gathering of some of New York's most exclusive circles, the conversation was turned to the subject serious by one of the rollickers asking a famous medical practitioner, who was present, what the most serious disease he had to contend with was. Being a speclalist in the treatment of nervous and wasting diseases, he replied. Lost vigor and power of personal magnetism in men. It is a greater detriment to health, happiness and success than any other affliction. He claims that thousands of men are groping for help, that thovisands are but mental and physical wrecks, without vitality or the power to do things, the power to begin and execute, the power of magnetism that gives the spark to life and lights the pathway of success. The very knowledge of their own weaknesses, its huinitiating nature and distrust lead the poor victim to keep his secret. Knowing these things so well, he recently consented to the publication of this original prescription. It can be mixed at home secretly, which is desirable for sensitive men.

The Genertel 'Demand of the Well-informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and tndy beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents j r h-rttlg.
