Fame and Excellence are Determining
Factors in Successful Development.
In presenting interesting phases of scien-
tfc and economic problems, high-class news
papers frequently give information of as
great value in their advertising columns as
in those devoted to the publication of the
principal events of the day; and when the
| fame of product is extended beyond its
natural limits into foreign lands, and large
demand created throughout Great Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-ports
and cities of Europe Asia and Africa, il be-
comes pleasant duty to note the fact and to
tell of the points of excellence on which so
great success is based. We refer
to the now world famed laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, the product of the
California Fig Syrup Company. The merits
of this well-knOwn excellent laxative we're
first made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers of the
United States and is one of the distinct
achievements of the press. 1t is now we'll
known that Syrup of Figs is an ethical pro-
pIietary remedy, approved by the most emin-
ent physicians everywhere, because it is
simple and effective, yet pleasant to the taste
and acceptable to the system, and not only
free from any unpleasant after-effects. 1t is
| frequently referred to as the remedy of the
| healthy. because it is used by people who en-
| joy good health and who live well and feel
well and are well Uniformed on all subjects

get its beneficial effects, it is necessary to get

factured by the California Fig Syrup Co.
