MMMHHMHHHKHMF-inn.estv wu, Mxas, A reporter exiled, on Wednesday evening, Siay 8,1895, at the residence of Mr. Will am McMahon, No. 1688 Pearl street, Brooklyn .Village (Clevelands 0., to learn, If possible the cause of the noticeable improvement in his physical condition over that of a year ago, when he was a sufferer from Indigestion and various organic disorders. “You see," began Mr. McMahon, “to start with, my work —that of setting type at the case—allows me little chance for bodily exercise, and is altogether too confining for anybody who Is In the least subject to Indigestion or dyspepsia. Perhaps not more so than many another mechanic or artisan who is constantly indoors and under severe mental strain, while the physical development is sadly in need of something to keep it in trim. Well, that lias been my complaint for years, and some months ago I became very billons, and constipation made life miserable for me at times. Then It took a seat in my LIVER, which became noticeably inactive, and I became alarmed about it. The first thing I turned my attention to was to secure a 'liver regulator,' which, however, failed to regulate; next I sought relief in ‘liver pills,' which so pained and griped me that the cure was, I thought, worse than the disease. The next thing I did was to throw away the whole “shooting match,’ and resolve to take no more proprietary medicines. However, on hearing my tale of woe. one day, at the office, a fellowworkman offered me a small Tabule —Ripans, he called It—which, he said, he would guarantee to act on the liver. I took it under protest, expecting to be doubled up in about fifteen minutes with the ‘gripes.’ But I was agreeably surprised in its action. It was very gentle, and I resolved to try a box. Since then I have gradually noted an entire change In the working of my system, and think that Ripans Tabules are the best , remedy for liver and stomach troubles this side of anywhere. They are really a substitute for physical exercise. Have one before you go?" And Mr. McMahon produced his box of “stand-bys" from his inside pocket as the reporter took his leave.

Before I had taken one bottle I felt the effects. My buck did not ache So badly, and I felt stronger. After taking four bottles I felt well. My ambition returned, menstruations were painless, leucorrhna entirely cured, and I could take care of my babe and do my housework. 1 shall always recommend your Vegetable Compound for all women, especially for young mothers." — Mrs. IL L.

The number of persons who will not cat fruit containing seeds is very large—this no'twltlhs'tanding tbo face that medical opinion has agreed that not more than 6 per cent of the cases of appendicitis are due to the swallowing of seeds. The contents of thq appendix usually consisf of mucus.

Many of them are natural thieves without training, and any of the species can lie taught. There Is a dog of this kind northwest Washington. He will pic* up anything he can find around a yard or outside of a store, but his specialty Is In ladies' pocketbooks and handbags. When he sees one of these he grabs It and runs, al- , ways succeeding in getting out of sight before he can be captured or followed. No owner has over been seen, henc<? i no complaints have been made at po--11.-o headquarters, but there Is little doubt, if it were possible to follow the animal, that it would lie found that he has’been carefully tramed as a purse snatcher, and that he takes bis booty i home to bis master. He seems to be aware that he is doing wrong, jumping i fences and dodging around houses when running away.

It is proposed in Utah to organize in co-operation with neighboring States an “arid region exposition,” to be held successively in the principal cities of the East, for the purpose of showing the products nnd resources of the arid region and of trying to dispel the notion that still exists iu some quarters that the country between the Rockies and the Sierras is a hopeless desert, given up, to sage brush and coyotes. The exposition would be something on the line of the exposition soon to be held In San Francisco. Specimens of products from the fields and orchards would bo shown, with samples of the mineral treasures of the region. Tho exhibits would be displayed in the chief cities first, and then divided up for exhibition in smaller cities and throughout the Eastern States.^ The main idea is, of course, such an exhibition would attract Immigration and capital to tie arid West

Gladness Comes XA/ith a better understanding of the . ’ transient nature of the many physical ills which vanish before proper efforts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— 1 rightly directed. There is comfort ia l : the knowledge that so many forms of ' sickness are not due to any actual dis-j : ease, but simply to a constipated condl-' ; tion of the system, whieh the pleasant ■ | family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt*J ly removes. That, is why it is tho only ■ remedy with millions of families, andfir everywhere esteemed so highly by all; who value good health. Its beneficial j effects are due to the fact, that it is the i one remedy which promotes internal 1 cleanliness, without debilitating tha 1 organs on which it acts. 11 is therefor®, . all important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note when you pur- 1 chase, that you have the genuine article,' which is manufactured by the California 1 Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all reputable druggrists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxatives or other remedies are not needed.; If afflicted with any actual disease, one, may be commended to the most skillful, physicians, but if in need of a laxative,; | then one should have the best, and with; the well-informed everywhere.
