Gladness Comes

XHTith . better understanding of the
W transient nature of the many phys
seal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that 30 many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to u constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it 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, thnt it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slsillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and Acknowledgement satisfaction.

in the eastern states for California
olives, and practically the whole pro-
duct of the state is already sold. Or
ders for California olives have come
from many old and conservative gro
Gerry houses in New York. Boston, and
other eastern cities whose proprietors
say that, now the Californians have
mastered the art of picking the fruit,
the native product will drive the for
eign olives out of the eastern markets
