OF the Wel-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; 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 Informed
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactur by the Cali

DON'T BE MISLED.

The retail druggists of this country
as class. are noted for their high
standard of intelligence and honorable
dealing, but it is well known fcct
that occasionally you will find one
who will try to sell you something else
when you call for a remedy Of estab-
lished reputation. He forgets that
your health is more important than
his pocketbook.
For example, when you ask for DR..
Kilmer's Swamp. Root, the great Kid
ncy, Liver and bladder Remedy,
don't let any druggist, drug clerk or
any storekeeper persuade you into
buying something else in its place.
Every time he succeeds in selling you
a worthless substitute he makes more
profit. but you are humbugged at the
expense OF your health.
For many years We have watched
with much interest the remarkable
record maintained by DR.. Kilmer S
Swamp-Root From the very beginning,
the proprietors had so much conf
dence in it that they invited every one
to send for a free sample bottle so
people could Judge Of its great cura-
tive value in even the most distress
ing cases Of kidney, liver and bladder
On another page of his paper you
will find few Of the letters, promps
fed by feelings Of heartfelt gratitude,
that are constantly coming to Dr.. Kill
mer and Company. No one can
doub such sincere and honest testi-
nom.

sneeze. Wall, sir, there was a case of
fine pepper at that end of the counter
and as Seth sneezed the pepper went
up in cloud, and then everybody
sneezed. Some of 1t got in old man
Hardapple's eyes and he pulled off his
