remedy she uses the gentle and
pleasant Syrup of figs, manuf ic

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYIUP OF FKS
ia due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Sybuf
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrnp of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Sybup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthlees
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profes:rion, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxativee,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, pieuse remember the name of
