Cuba. The proclamation refers to the
original proclamation of June 12, 1895,
demanding an observance of the neu

transportation, in order that citizens
may not be misled as to the meaning
of the neutrality laws.

ith a better understanding of the
nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
fortsgentle effortspleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of 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 bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and 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,
JUS. _hcui have the best, and with the
wel.-isformed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
