\NIith better understanding of the
 w transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper eff forts-gentlc efsorts-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 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 facilitating the organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore all important, in order to get it's bcne- icial effects, to note when you pur- chase that you have the genuine arti- cle, 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 slillful physicians, but if in need of n laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-inforined everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.
