A Young: New York Lady Telia of a Wonderful Cure: — " My trouble was with the ovaries; I am tall, and the doctor said I grew too fast for my strength. I suilered dreadfully from inflammation and doctored continually, but got no help. I suffered from terrible dragging sen sations with the most awful pains low down in the side and pains in the back, and the most agonizing headaches. No one knows what I endured. Often I was sink to the stomach, and every little while I would be too sick to go to work, for three or four days; I work in a large store, and I suppose stand ing on my feet all day made me worse.

When this tube nets inflam ed >ou have a rumbling «ound or imperfect bearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor mal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflammed con dition of the mucous surfaces.

At the time he was playing In Bryant's theater in New York Mr. Bryant asked him to write up something lively for a walk-around.

Bradstreet's report on trade the past week says: Business continuea large and indus try active, in most cases surpassing previous years at this date, despite un seasonably e«ol weather in some sec tions and a swarm of vexatious labor troubles. Most of the measures of trade and industrial volume still make favorable showings. The simply enor mous gain in gross railway earnings reported for April, 15 per cent over the best in previous years, is proof that past good reports of trade and traffic were fully Justified. The usual lull in wholesale trade al lows of some retrospections and reflec- L ions as to the future. Men's wear tvoolen goods are not being taken hold jf freely and some shortening of run ning time is possible at New England .nills. Wool moves fairly, though .uostly at concessions, and the dis turbed condition of raw cotton, prices laving reached the highest point in jvct two years, holds back trade for .all, though rather more disposition to lo business has bec-n manifested by uiyers this week.

It must be apparent to every one that qualities of the highest order are neces sary to enable the best of the products of modern commerce to attain permanently to universal acceptance. However loudly heralded, they may not hope for world-wide preeminence unless they meet with the general approval, not of Individuals only, but of the many who have the happy faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn ing the real worth of the choicest prod ucts. Their commendation, consequently, becomes important to others, since to meet the requirements of the well in formed of all countries the method of manufacture must be of the most per fect order and the combination the most excellent of its kind. The above Is true not of food products only, but is espe cially applicable to medicinal agents and after nearly a quarter of a century of growth and general use the excellent remedy, Syrup of Figs, is everywhere accepted, throughout the world, as the best of family laxatives. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative and carmin ative principles of plants known to act most beneficially on ths system and pre sented In the form of a pleasant and re freshing liquid, but also to the method of manufacture of the California Fig Syrup Co., which ensures that uniformi ty and purity essential in a remedy in tended for family use. Ask any physi cian who is well Informed and he will answer at once that It is an excellent laxative. If at all eminent In his pro fession and has made a special study of laxatives and their effects upon the sys- I tem he will tell you that It Is the best of family laxatives, because It is sim ] pie and wholesome and cleanses and sweetens the system effectually, when ! a laxative Is needed, without any un pleasant after-effects. Every well-in formed druggist of reputable standing knows that Syrup of Figs Is an > xcel ) lent laxative and is glad to sell It. at I the regular price of fifty cents per hot ' j tie, because it gives general satisfac tion, but one should remember that in ' order to get the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs It is necessary to buy the genuine, which Is sold In original pack • ages only; the name of the remedy— Syrup of Figs and also the full nam of tho Company-California Fig Syrup Co. , —printed on the front of every package. If so then your system is out of balance, and there is a flaw somewhere in your constitution, 1 w and a possibility that you are losing health, too. /fo. E^|| The falling 1 off in weight may be slight, but it makes t j a wonderful change in one's looks and feelings, and . |g§ unless the building up process is begun in tune, L. . . vitality and strength are soon gone and health quickly follows. If you are losing weight there is a cause for it. Your blood is deterioiating and becoming too poor to properly nourish the body, and it must be purified and enriched before lost weight is regained. It requires something more than an ordinary tonic to build up a feeble constitution, for unless the poisons tmd germs that are lurking in the blood are destroyed, they will further im poverish the blood and weaken the system, ami you continue to losd weight.
