Syrup of Figs. It is well known to be a simple combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aro matic liquids, which arc agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system when Its gentle cleansing Is desired. Many of the ills from which women suffer are of a tran sient nature and do not come 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 laxative is needed it is best to consult the family physician and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nostrums of tne present day. When one needs only to remove the strain, the torpor, the con gestion, or similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condition of the system, use the true and gentle remedy ? Syrup of Figs ? and enjoy freedom from the depression, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which are due to Inactivity of the bowels.
