Thousands of Acres Inundated and
Crops Probably Ruined.

Mobile, Ala, Feb. 24-Heavy floods
which have swept the Alabama and

have caused enormous damage in
southwestern Alabama. The water is
still rising and it is feared the worst

has been reported. Latest details of
the food were brought by steamboats,
arriving from points up the rivers.
Thousands of acres of land have been

At some points the Tombigbee is re-
ported to be six miles wide. or long

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; a 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 it's
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.
