Ga., Sept. 27th, ’9e. ,1- ' i Gladness Comes \A7itha better 'understanding of the transi the many phys- ical ills, which a anish before proper ef forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts — rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease. but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one i inedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle. which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. Ts in the enjoyment of good health, | and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should liave the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely Pied and gives most general satisfaction.
