An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Fro SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds. headaches and fevcrs
gently yet promptly and enabling one
TO overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and It's 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
taste, but the medicinal qualities OF the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co only. In order TO get its beneficial
elects and to avoid limitations, please
rememb Der the full-name of the Company
printed on the front OF every package.
