The HIGHEST Object

OF the art of advertising is to correctly
inform the public of the merits of any
article, and truthful statements always
prove most effective in time. The val
liable reputation acquired by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., by reason of the
excellence of the pleasant laxative rem
edy, Syrup of Figs, which it manufac-

company freely makes, that the best
of remedies only should be used when
required by the human system. If a
laxative remedy is required the most

that the eX-hangman was suffering
