There are two classes of remedies: tliose of known quality ai.fi which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assistance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting temporarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrnp Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most bcuclicially, in a pleasant syrnp, in which the wholesome Californian bine figs arc used to contribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse tho system genl ly anil naturally, and to assist one In overcoming constipation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active principles and quality arc known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is & most excellent laxative reined)'.
