one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the

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,
auG 3lle system is regular, laxatlves or
ether remedies are then not needed. IT
