The Family Laxative

66

The ideal safe family laxative known as SYRUP OF FIGS,"
is a product of the California Fig Syrup Co., and derives
its laxative principles from senna, made pleasant to the
taste, and more acceptable to the stomach, by being com-
bined with pleasant aromatic syrups and the juice of figs.
It is recommended by many of the most eminent physicians,
and used by millions of families with entire satisfaction.
It has gained its great reputation with the medical pro-
fession by means of the acknowledged skill and care
exercised by the California Fig Syrup Co. in securing the
laxative principles of the senna by methods of its own, and
presenting them in the best and most convenient form.
The California Fig Syrup Co. has special facilities for com-
manding the choicest qualities of Alexandria senna, and
its chemists devote their entire attention to the manufacture

of the one product. The name "SYRUP OF FIGS" means
to the medical profession the "family laxative, manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co," and the name of the
Company is a guarantee of the excellence of its product.
Informed of the above facts, the careful physician will know
how to prevent the dispensing of worthless imitations when
he recommends or prescribes the original and genuine
"SYRUP OF FIGS." It is well known to physicians that
"SYRUP OF FIGS" is a simple, safe and reliable laxative
which does not irritate or debilitate the organs on which it
acts, and being pleasant to the taste, it is specially adapted
for ladies and children, although generally applicable in
all cases. Special investigations of the profession invited.

In Tuberculosis

Fresh air and over-feeding, combined with rest in the earlier stage of treatment, are now recognized as the only means of successfully combatting the disease.

LACTO-GLOBULIN

is the only concentrated nourishment which fulfils the requirements of the profession :

A pure and non-sterilized albumen, retaining the natural enzymes of fresh milk. A transformation of casein into globulin by a physiological process, and not by chemical synthesis. Rich in soluble phosphates, maintaining the alkalinity of the blood and increasing leucocytosis. The proteid of new milk in its most readily assimilable form. A natural food retained by the most delicate stomach, and decreasing all gastric and intestinal irritation.

Lacto-Globulin is so easily digested and so rapidly assimilated that it forms an absolutely ideal food for frequent administration between meals and before retiring. It will increase the natural appetite and the power of digestion through its affinity for and attraction of the gastric enzymes, and gives the maximum nutriment at the least taxation of the digestive organs.
