GIudness Comes

WITH better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant 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-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why il 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 facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tbs therefore
all important, in order TO get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which Is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended tothe most sl1illful

Nervous

People wonder why their nerves are so weak;
why they get tired so easily; why they do not
sleep naturally; why they have frequent head
aches, indigestion and
Nervous Dyspepsia. The explanation is
simple. 1t is found in that impure blood feed
ing the nerves on refuse instead of the ele-
ments of strength and yigor. Opiate and nerve
compounds simply deaden and do not cure.
Hoods Sarsaparla feeds the nerves pure,
rich blood gives natural sleep, perfect dges-
ton, Is the true remedy for all nervous troubles.
