A HEALTHY.
HAPPY OLD AGE

May be promoted by those who
gently cleanse the system, now and
then, when in need of laxative
remedy, by taking the ever refresh
ing, wholesome and truly beneficial
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA,
which is the only family laxative
generally approved by the most
eminent physicians, because it acts
in a natural, strengthening way,
and warns and tones up the in
ternal organs without weakening
them.
1t is equally beneficial for the
very young and the middle aged, as
it is always efficient and free from
all harmful ingredients. To get
its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine, bearing the name of
the company-California Fig Syrup
Co. plainly printed on the front
of every package.
