The Distinctive Value of Syrup of Fif« is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently nnd truly as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions, The requisite knowledge of what a laxative should I* and of the best means for it* production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly licneficial in it* effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in • naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them. Io assist nature, when nature needs aaaiNtance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should l>e of the l»est quality and of known value nnd Syrup of I'igs possesses this great advantage overall other remedies, that it docs not weaken tbe organs on which it acts nnd therefore it promotes a healthful con­ dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring • laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the Invalid, or the robust man. Syrup of Figs is well known to lie a combination of the laxative principle* of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system, when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it i* therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. 480 4 I P I I V I I »■ I I i | I J I I I I Louisville, Ky.
