Whenever 1 have heard people ratl
ing at the vaat fortunes of some o< the
California millionaires, says an Eng- 1
lish writer, I have always replied that
no titan became a millionaire In the
early history of California who had not
earned Ills fortune by the risks he had
had the courage to fnce. I remembered
nu old Irishman named Hill iHinpby
brlnglug home to my mind what these
pioneers had encountered when he told
me how he and a companion had fared
In a Journey across the continent. The
companion Injured his leg. Dunphy
had to cut It off with an ax and then,
going forward through the dark uu-
traced woods to search for the trull
and for food, had to leave Ills friend
liehind by the side of a stream and
with a single tin of biscuits to keep
him up till Ills friend's return. Then I
saw wliat the pioneers or IH-lti had
faced, and I felt that they merited
such rewards, however great, its for
tune had afterward bestowed upon
them.

High Class Druggists
AND — OTHERS.
The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity,
who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow faen in supplying the best of remedies and
purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians’ prescriptions and
scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but
always under original or officinal names and they never seil false brands, or imitation medicines.
They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes
all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a fivt*class pharmacy and the finest and
best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances.
The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits
conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest
reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil: They all know that Syrup of
Figs ig an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they
are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest
remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full
name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package.
They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and
of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or
over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as
Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction.
Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the
immense demand for it. imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are
individual druggists to he found, hero and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles
of tiie profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate
to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order tomakea larger profit. Ssuch preparations
sometimes have the name—“ Syrup of Figs”—or ”I’ig Svrup” and of some piratical concern,
or fictitious (ig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of
tho Company —California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on tin* front of the package. The imitations
should lie rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations
they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes
off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which
does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Cm printed on the front of the package,
lie is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has l*en so unfortunate as to enter his
establishment,, whether it lie large or small, for if the dealer rzsorts to misrepresentation and
and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of
physicians’ prescriptions, and should lie avoided by every one who values health anti happiness.
Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand
for our excellent remedy entirelv through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every
where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, hut as exceptions
exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return
any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company—
California Fig Svrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the
article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of
druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of every thing in his line at reasonable prices.
