Truth and
Quality

appeal TO the Well-Iniormed in every
walk Of life and are essential to permanent
success and crcditable standing. Accor-
ingly, il is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one Of many reasons
why it is the best of personal ard family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanscs,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as u laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup

In 1905 fifty.ninc were dead at the
