One of the most exceptional of the remediesof known qual lity andexceilence is the ever _pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most ben eficially, in a pleasantsyrup, in'which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con- tribute their rich, yet delicate, frujty flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refreshandcleanse the system gently and naturally, and to ass ist one in gvercoming consti- 3 tion and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi- ¥ ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of wel of their own personal knowledge | informed .persons who know and from actual experience thatitis a most excellent laxative remedy. We donot claim that it will cure all'manner of ills,but re represents, a laxative remedy of k containing nothing of an objectionab! commend it for what it really nown quality and excellence, le or injurious character. ‘There are two classes of purchasers: those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasonsfor the excellence of artjcles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewheré when a dealer offers an jmitation of any w il known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, dnd who allow .themselves to be imposed upon. They canpot expect its beneficial effects if they do not'get the genuine remedy.
