Exceptional
Equfpmenf

Of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
Of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
bene6cially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
AS there is only one genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA and as the gen
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables
one to decline limitations or to return them

months he wa arrange to take ac-
count of what has been done ,and to
ascertain what progress has been
made, if any.
He thoroughly believes in beginning
with the children and says that sloven-
ly parents when they see the child at
tempting to be neat and cleanly invol-
unfairly attempt to live up to the
standard brought home by the chill
dren. He does not care to form any
special organization for the pushing of
his ideas as to the dietary care, but
intends to use the existing organiza-
tions at work in that section of New
York
This New Englander, whose name
has become famous through his ten
years experience in following the gos-
pei of thorough mastication of food,
has in preparation also a series of
tests to be used at the summer chau-
tauqua He proposes to have a food
commons for the teachers, combined
with systematic and scientific expert
ments Then he believes the teachers
at the chautauqua will return to their
home districts and give out to those
localities the experience they have
gained In this way he hopes to spread
his doctrine of economy and health
through the proper chewing of food.
Mr.. Fletcher is a wonderful example
of the effects of the system he advo-
Gates. After an eventful career he
found himself In 1884 suffering from
too much flesh, and his health greatly
impaired Life insurance companies
declined to accept him as risk.
These things led him to systematic
study of relief, and the result was
fietcherism. He found the system of
thoroughly chewing everything he ate
and slowly slipping what he drank
toned up his system wonderfully. 1t did
more for on his tiftieth birthday ami
versary-he was born in Lawrence In
1849-he rode 1870 miles on a bicycle
without any training and without ap-
parent exhaustion.
