Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills which vanish before proper ef-
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness arc not due to any actual dis-
ease but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of tho 83stem > which the pleasant
family laxative Synlp of Figjs 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 pood health Its beneficial
effects arc due to the fact that itis the
ne remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which itacts It is therefore
all important in order to get its bene-
ficial effects to note when you pur-
chase that jou have the genuine arti-
cle which is manufactured by the Cali
fol nia Fig Syrup CO only and sold by
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health
and the system is regular laxatives or
other remedies are then hot needed If
aillicted with any actual disease one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians but if in need of n laxative
ohe should have the best and with the
wellinformpd everywhere Syrup of
Figs stands highest and Ls most largely
used and gives iilobt general satisfaction
