The EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup o. Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FORNIA t'I6 SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup Of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
OF the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far ia advance Of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating OF weaken
ing them, and II does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company
