He replied somewhat enigmatically.

Prosecution Unknown. "I have noticed a good many, complaints that criminal prosecutions against trust magnates and sentences of imprisonment for them have been very infrequent and, In fact, for practical purposes, unknown. 'It is perfectly true that, in my opinion at least, a 'better moral effect would be produced by sending a few prominent men to jail than by a great deal of litigation, however successful, against the control." corporations they Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain' Mercury. as mercury will surely destroy the the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when terlng it through the mucous surfaces.

The most eminent medical scientists are unanimous in the conclusion that the generally accepted limitation of human life is many years below the attainment possible with the advanced knowledge of which the race is now possessed. The critical period, that determines Its duration, seems to be between 50 and 60; the proper care of the body during this decade cannot be too strongly urged; carelessness then being fatal to longevity.

The General -Condemnation of So-Called Patent or Secret Medicines of an injurious character, which indulge in extravagant and unfounded pretensions to cure all ills, and the National Legislation Enacted to Restrict Their Sale have established more clearly than could have been accomplished in any other way The Value and Importance of Ethical Remedies.

Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of Known Excellence and Quality and of Known Component Parts. To gain the full confidence of the Well-Informed of the world and the approval of the most eminent physicians, -it is essential that the component parts be known to and approved by them, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The perfect purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a.laxative remedy of an ethical character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Company's original method of manufacture, known to the Company only. There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxutives Jthat it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without disturbing.the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as more fully descriptive the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get its effects, always note, when purchasing, the full name of the l'ig Syrup plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California fig Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name.
