are simply crystalized fruit cathar-
tic, composed of vegetables and fruits.
They are natural laxative, assisting
nature to overcome constipation, liver
complaints, biliousness and piles.
Physicians recommend Hamburg figs
to be given to infants to Youths, and to
be mild, harmless, but most efficient
laxative and purgative, During preg-
nancy the bowels always show tend
ency to constipation, and during this
period the continued use of
HAMBURG FIGS
Is peculiarly indicated, because, be-
ing purely vegetable, they keep the
blood cold and the system in perfect
