The
General Demand

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy OF
known value; laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup Of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
Of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That Is one Of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA Il
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get its beneficial effect,
always buy the genuine-manufac
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.

WHAT IS PE-RU-NA?
Is It a Catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic, or is it Both?

Some people call Peruua a great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarrh remedy.
Which Of these people are right?
Is it more proper to call Peruna a ca.
tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic2
Our reply is, that Peruna is both a
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectual catarrh rem.
edy that is not also a tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case of catarrh, a remedy must not
only have specific. action on the mu-
cous membranes affected by the ca
tarrh, but'it must have a general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, is a weakened con.
dition of some mucous membrane.
There must be something to strength
en- the circulation, to give tone to the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces.
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
CANADENSIS. The wonderful eff.
cacy Of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a
trio Of medical agents is formed in Pc
runa which constitutes a specific rem
edy for cetarrh that in the present
state Of medical progress cannot be
improved upon. This action, rein
forced by sSch renowned tonics a.
C0LLINS0NIA CANADENSIS, COR
YDALIS F0RM0SA and CEDRON
SEED, ought to make this compouni
an ideal remedy for catarrh In all it
stages and locations in the body.
From theoretical standpoint, there
fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. !Th,
use Of Peruna, confirms this opinion
Numberless testimonials from every
quarter of the earth furnish ampl,
evidence that this Judgment is no
over enthusiastic. When practical ex
perience confirms well-grounded the
ory the result is a truth that cannot b,
shaken.
