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 are not due to any actual dis-
ease but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system which the pleasant
family laxative Syrup of Figs 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 good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important in order to get its bene-
ficial effects to note when you pur-
chase that you have the genuine arti-
cle which is manufactured by the Cali-
fornia Fjg 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 not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians but if in need of a laxative
one should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
