THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FKiS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
munufactuoed by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, ami we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true amt original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist, one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured brother par
ties. The high, standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
•jf the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, ami it does not gripe nor
nauseate. 1 n order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
