The Value of Personal Knowledge
Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the
culminating contests of this competitive age and when
of ample character it places its fortunate possessor in
the front ranks of .
The Well Informed of the World.
A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essen
tial to the achievement of the highest excellence in
any field of human effort.
A Knowledge of Forms. Knowledge of
Functions and Knowledge of Products are
all of the utmost value and in questions of life and
health when a true and wholesome remedy is desired
it should be remembered that Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co., is an ethical product which has met with
the approval of the most eminent physicians and
gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of
Known Quality, Known Excellence and
Known Component Parts.
This valuable remedy has 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.
