Figs - Nature's Pleasant Laxative

This scrap of an ad - Syrup of Figs - I found in a box of old pictures. I just think this is beautiful. Anyway, my grandfather John Cacicia had a fig tree in the yard at our house for years. And during the winter - the house may have been cold - but that tree stayed toasty and warm - he enclosed it in a kind of tent-like thing and even threw a heater in there. Pretty high tech for 1940's - Morrellville.
