Delicately formed and gently reared, women
will find. in all the seasons of their lives, as
maidens wives or mothers, that tho one simple,
wholesome remedy which acts gently and
pleasantly and naturally. and which may be
used with truly beneficial effects, under any
conditions, when the system needs q laxative.
is-Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA. It is
well known to be simple combination of the
laxative and carminative principles of plants
with pleasant aromatic liquids, which are
agreeable and refreshing to the taste and
acceptable to the system when its gentle
cleansing is desired.
Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA can hope to get its
beneficial effects, and as guarantee of the
excellence of the remedy. the full name of the
company-California Fig Syrup Co.'s printed
on the front of every package, and without it
any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA is fraudulent and should be
declined. To those who know the quality of
this excellent laxative. the offer of any substi-
tute, when Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA
is called for, is always resented by transfer
of patronage to some first-class drug establish
ment, where they do not recommend. nor sell
false brands, nor imitation remedies. The genu-
inc article may be bought of all reliable drug
gists everywhere; one size only. Regular
