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; eHectually 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
news, 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. onlJ, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup OF Figs

have the distinction OF being the first light
opera comedian to appear in the English
metropolis at the head Of his own organi-

London, for English comedians, with the
exception OF George GrosSmith and Arthur
