The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS. manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUr Co.. illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them i'll the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable 70 the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effcctually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fcvcrs
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
mnnently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub.
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
