P. N. U (¥ ■' A \ If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit In a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reason able amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one’s improvement In cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, etc. It Is all-important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one ot known quality and excellence, like the ever pleas ant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effect ually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without griping, irritating, or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manu facture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth con sidering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP © F FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy U required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists and that full name of the company— California Fig Syrup C o ., is plainly printed on the front of every package. Regular price, 50c per bottle. a l * f o r n i a R g S y r u p N*. » - 0 « H E N writing* t o s d v o r t lg e n p l o a ie m e n tio n t h is p a p e r . AMAljj|p •V.v.'j: CO LIM ITE*, V m i V . T .
