Delicately formeil and gently reared women will
find In nil the seasons of their lives as nialda or wives
or mothers that the one simple wholesome remedy
which acts pently and pleasantly nml naturally and
which nmy bo used with truly beneficial effects under
any coiidltloiiswheii the system needs a laxative is
Syrnp of Figs It is well known to bo a simplo com-
bination of the laxativo and carminative principles of
jilants with pleasant aromatic liquids which aro
agreeable and refreshing to the tasto and acceptable
to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired
3Iany of the ills from which women suffer nro of
a transient nature and do not como from any organic
trouble and It is pleasant to know that they yield so
promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs
but when anything more than a lnxativo is needed it
is best to consult the family physician and to avoid
the oliltime cathartics and loudly advertised nos-
trums of the present day When one needs only to
rcmoe the strain the torpor tho congestion or
similar ills which attend upon a constipated condi-
tion of the system use the truo and gentle remedy
Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from tho depres-
sion the aches and pains colds ami headaches which
arc due to inactivity of tho bowels
Only thoe who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs
can hope to get Hh beneficial effects and as a guar-
antee of the excellence of tho remedy tho full nanio
of the company California Fig Syrnp Co Is
printed on the front of overy package antl without
it any preparation offered us Syrnp of Figs is fraud-
ulent and should bo declined Tothoso who know the
quality of this excellent laxative tho offer of any
substitute when Syrup of Figs is called for is
ulwins resented by a transfer of patronage to some
listclass drug establishment whore they do not
recommend nor sell false brands nor imitation
remedies The genuine article may bo bought of all
reliable druggists everywhere at i > 0 cents per bottle
