Ugh! How Children
Hate Castor Oil,
Delicious "syrup Of Figs" Best to
Cleanse Their Little clogsed Bowels.

:. Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the physic that mother in
sisted on-castor OIL calomel, cathar-
tics. How you hated them, how you
fought against taking them.
With our children it's different. The
day of harsh physic is over. We don't
force the liver and 80 feet of bowels
now; we coax them. We, have no
dreaded after effects. Mothers VINO
cling to the old form of physic simply
don't realize what they do. The chill
dren's revolt is well-founded. Their
little stomachs and tender bowels are
injured by them.
If your child is fretful, peevish, half
sick, stomach sour, breath feverish
and its little system full of cold; has
diarrhoea, sore throat, stomach-ache;
doesn't eat or rest well--reinember-
look at the tongue, il coated, give a
teaspoonful of Syrup of Figs, then
don't worry, because you surely will
have WELL smiling child in a few
hours.
Syrup Of Figs being composed en-
tirely of luscious figs, SIENNA and aro-
mates simply cannot be harmful. 1t
sweetens the stomach, makes the liver
active and thoroughly cieanses the
little ones waste clogged bowels. In
few hours all sour bile. undigested
fermenting food and constipated waste
matter gently moves on and out OF
the system without gripping or nausea.
