appeal to the well informed in every walk of life and
are essential to permanent success and creditable
standing, therefore we wish to cail the attention of all
who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the
fact that it involves the question of right living with
all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what
is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of con
templation and of effort may be made to contribute to
that end and the use of medicines dispensed with
generally to great advantage, but as in many instances
a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable, if
taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co.
feels that it is alike important to present tiuthfully the
subject and to supply the cne perfect laxative remedy
which has won the approval cf physicians and the
world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all,
and the original method of manufacture, which is
known to tFie California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy ha3 been long and favorably
known under the name of — Syrup of Figs — and has
attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excell
ent family laxative. As its pure laxative principles,
obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians
and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we
have adopted the more elaborate name of — Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna — as more fully descriptive
of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called
for by the shorter name of — Syrup of Figs — and to
get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing,
the full name of the Company — California Fig Syrup
Co. — printed on the front of every package, whether
you call for—Syrup of Figs — or by the full name—
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna.
