KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas:
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

For more than ten years Miss Susan
Friend, of Prestonburg, KY, has lain
in a sleep or stupor that nothing can
arouse her from. Ten years ago she
fell and cut her hand on the stump of
sapling. The wound did not appear to
be serious, and healed in due time, but
gradually there came a change in her
condition. She grew morose and silent,
her health gave away and finally she
lost the use of her lower limbs. Fol
lowing this came drowsiness that
nothing could shake off, and she was
placed in bed, where she has remained
ever since.
