After a careful study of the means to be employed to produce such SYRUP OF FIGS. A Perfect Laxative name of " COPYRIGHTED the California Fig Syrup Company manufactured, from the juice of True Alexandria Senna and an excellent combination of carminative aromatics with pure white sugar, the laxative which is now so well and favorably known under the trade Syrup of Figs." With the exceptional facilities, resulting from long experience and entire devotion to the one purpose of making our product unequalled, this demand for the perfect laxative is met by Our Method of extracting the laxative properties of Senna without retaining the griping principle found in all other preparations or combinations of this drug. This method is known only to us, and all efforts to produce cheap imitations or substitutes may result in injury to a physician's reputation, and will give dissatisfaction to the patient; hence, we trust that when physicians recommend or prescribe "Syrup of Figs" (Syr. Fici Cal.) they will not permit any substitution. The name "Syrup of Figs" was given to this laxative, not because in the process of Manufacturing few figs are used, but to distinguish it from all other laxatives, and the United States Courts have decided that we have the exclusive right to apply this name to a laxative medicine. The dose "SYRUP OF FIGS" as a laxative is one or two teaspoonfuls given preferably before breakfast or at bed time. From one-half to one tablespoonful acts as a purgative, and may be repeated in six hours if necessary. "Syrup of Figs" is never sold in bulk. It is put up in two sizes to retail at fifty cents and $1.00 per bottle, and the name "Syrup of Figs" as well as the name of the California Fig Syrup Company is printed on the wrappers and labels of every bottle.

Laird, Resident Physician at the Buffalo Lithia Springs, says: "I send by this mail a box of Caiculi, passed at various times within the last year by Hon. T. J. Jarratt, our former Mayor, whilst drinking the BUFFALO LITHIA WATER They give him but little pain now when passing. I have never critically examined the broken Calculi, pass ed in such quantities from Mr. Jarratt's bladder, but am under the impression that the most of them are magnesian phosphates. There were specimens, however, which presented the appearance of oxylates and some, I remember, impressed me specially as being uric acid. I do not pretend to account for the mode of their solution by the Buffalo Lithia Water. There is nothing in its analysis which would warrent such results; but the results are there and seeing is believing. I can only suppose that in Nature's alembic there has been some subtle solvent evolved, too subtle to be caught by our course re-agents, which make this wonderful disintegration," Water in cases of one dozen half-gallon bottles $5.00, f. o. b. here.
