to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CAIIFoRyIA FIG SYRUP

al the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup Of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.

assist one IN avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The nigh standing of the CALI,

the name Of the Con- 1any a guaranty
Of the excellence of its remedy. It is
