Gladness Comes With a better understanding of tho 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, tn 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 Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, aas the system is regular, laxatives or ether remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with auv actual disease, one ,ea-.' be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a oac should have the best, and withtna well-informed everywhere, Syrup cf Figsstauds lushest and is most largely Used and gives w"-»*t general tatisfucUon. 111 Succeeds Like access We succeed because our staff and equipment fm boJy all tbe highest mod best elements of success.

Tongue could never ex ! press the misery I endured during thosa >cars. i ua' reduced in flesh until Iwu a mere skeleton. My sight and hearing] were badly impaired; was constantly troubled with constipation and piles, ana had a severe chrcuie eouarh. In dhort. Ufa won a burden and death would have bams welcome. I was treated by various spec* lalists without avail. 1 unall} resolved to give Dr. Wong Him, of No. 639 Upper Mala ; street, a trial. Of course, like many utnersw ' I hod no faith in a Chinese doctor, but li I took only a few tones of his life-giving 1 herbs to knock nil the skepticism out «c me. In just live weeks the doctor pronoun ced me cured, and now I can truthfully say that I was never healthier and never fen better In my life. My sight and hearing) are both fully restored; that obnoxious cough, constipation and piles are entirely, cured, and I am rapidly gaining in flash, having gained tony iiuunus in two months. I earnestly recommend all sufferers anef skeptics to give the doctor a trial and be) convinced or bis superior skill as a pity* Stefan. JOHN M. STEVENSON. 620 Bellevue avenue, Los Angeles, Cat To the Public: I take pleasure In tes tifying to my marvelous recovery under Ihe treatment of Dr. Wong Hiui of Ufl Upper Main st., Los Angeles, from a num ber of stubborn ailments, among which were chronic sick-headaches, dyspepsia and kindred stomach troubles, heart affec tion and kidney disease. But what I oon sidor this phystcan excelleH in, so far aa mv case is concerned, was in the restora tion of my eye service. Astigmatism, coupled with other disorders, was my af fliction In this respect, and. although • number of well known skilled oculists US some of the lurg- r cities of this country advised me I should always have to de pend upon glasses, and receive hut poor service even then. Dr. Wong Hitn's rem edies have enabled me to abandon totally the use of any artificial help to sight, anil my eyes continue to give such service, both lor near work and distant, as Is truly wonderful. To tho skill and remedies ot the physician named can alono be attrib uted a revolution ill my physical condition throughout that puzzles those who knew of the "incurable" character of my af flictions.
