General Demand

OF the Wcll-lnformcd of the World has
always been for n simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy OF known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts arc 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 OK
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 Wcll-Informcd.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
