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
Go. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFoRNIA FIa SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
mutations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG 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 a guaranty
OF the excellence of it's remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all ether laXatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauscate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
