BLOAT IN CATTLE.
Simple Treatment Which Will Save
Live Stock.

Simple Treatment Which will Save
Live Stock.
Bloating is common trouble
among cattle in spring and summer.
1t is caused by the animals eating
large quantities of green food which
ferments and often proves fatal if
not promptly attended to. Alfalfa
is especially conducive to bloating
when covered with dew.
The symptoms of bloating are
familiar to the experienced farmer.
One or more of the cattle act rest
less and move from one place to
another as If in pain. The breath
ing is labored and rapid, and in a
short time the characteristic disten-
sion of the abdomen is noted. In
acute cases. death may ensue in
from ten to thiryt minutes from
suffocation or apoplexy.
Prompt treatment is usually nee
essary and often the animal dies be-
fore veterinarian can be summone
To be prepared for such emergencies
should be the aim of every stock
owner.
Treatment consists in stopping the
fermentation and formation Of gas.
All sorts of medical agents are used.
Common baking Soda tablespoon

four toblespoonfuls of turpentine in
pint Of water given as a drench Is
good. Mechanical Appliances such
as the old fashioned straw bride
or probank are still used.

UGH! HOW CHILDREN HATE
CASTOR OIL.
To Clean the Little Ones Stomach Liver and Waste cIogged Bowels Give Gentle Syrup of Figs"

Loook 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 90 feet of bowels now; we coax them. We have no dreaded after effects Mothers who sling to the old form of physic simply don't realize Wha they do. The chil- drenSs revolt is weli-founded. Their little stomachs and tender bowels are injured by them.
 If your child is fretfui, peevish. half sick. stomach sour, breath feverish and Its little system full of cold; has diaP- rh0ea. sore throat stomach ache, doesn't eat or rest Well-remember- look at the tongue, if coated, give a teasp0onfui of Syrup of Figs, then don't worry. because you surely will have a well. smiling child in a few hours.
 Syrup of Figs being composed en- tirely of luscious figs, senna. and aro- matics simply cannot be harmful. It sweetens the stomach, makes the liver active and thoroughly cleanses the lit tie ones waste-clogged bowels. In a few hours all sour bile, undigested fermenting food and censtiPated waste matter gently moves on and out of the system without griping or nausea.
 Directions for children of all ages, also for grown-ups, plainly printed on the package.
 By all means get the genuine. Ask your druggist for the full name "Svrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna" prepared by the California Fig Syrup Co. Ac- cePt nothing else
