An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs. manufactured by the
CALIFoBNrA FIe 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 cceptable to the system. II
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. 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
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FrG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
