There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simplyto a' constipated condi- moh oi me system, wnicb the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of FiprK 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 remedy 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 article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep utable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa tives or other remedies are not lieeded. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physiciansAbut if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.
