While it Is well knuwu that Daniel
Webster In speaking of General Tay
lor's candidacy for the office of presi
dent pronounced It "a nomination not
tit to he made," he never failed to do
Justice to the central's military abil
ities and eminent service In the field.
On one- occasion he paid the old sol
dier n delicate and well deserved com
pliment. General Taylor was com
plaining of the crowds of people who
dally besieged him soon after his as
cession to the presidency.
"They Interfere," he said, "with my
official engagements and violate my
domestic retirement, but still I do not
wish to turn my back upon my
friends." ?
"You never did upon your enemies,
general," Mr. Webster Instantly re
plied.

V^LUE
OF
Knowledg]
Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the culminating contests of
this competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate
possessor in the front ranks of
The Well Informed of the World.
A vast fund of persona! know'idge is really essential to the achievement of the
highest excellence in any field of human effort.
A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Knowl
edge of Products are all of the utmost value and in questions of life and health
when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an
ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and
gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of
Known Quality, Known Excellence and Known Component
Part* and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of the
world, who know of their own personal knowledge aad from actual use that it is the first
and best of family laxatives, for which no extravagant or unreasonable claims are made.
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 family laxative. As its pure
laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians
and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we have
adopted the more elaborate name of ? Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna ? as more fully descriptive of the remedy.
but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter
name of ? Syrup of Figs ? and to get its beneficial
effects, always note, when purchasing the full
name of the Company ? California Fig Syrup
Co. ? printed on the front of every package,
whether you call for ? Syrup of Figs
? or by the full name ? Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna.
