General Demand

of the Wen-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its 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
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-lnformed'
To get it's beneficial effects always buy
the genuine by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

II had eczema on my hands for about
seven years and during that time I had
used several so-called& remedies, together
with physicians and druggists prescrip-
lions. The disease was so bad on nv
hands that I could lay a slate-pencil in one
of the cracks and q rule placed across the
hand would not touch the pencil. I kept
using remedy after remedy, and while some
gave partial relief, none relieved az much
as did the first box of Cuticura Ointment.
