General Demand

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; q laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because i,J COM
ponent 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 ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
allie success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir OF SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuinc-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by oil leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

a large percentage Of that sown at that

not been for the frost early In August,

Of the continent, there would have
been a magnificent yield in every dis.

about 1901 acres was sown to win.
