 W transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before p,>Nper ef- 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- tion 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. It's beneficial effects are due to the fact, that 1t is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without d. oilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get it's bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- clc, 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, laxativcs or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful 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 gives mos general satisfaction
