With a better understanding OF the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper et-
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 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, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits 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 to the most skillful
physicians. but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the wcll-informedc d everywhere, Syrupof
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
