Ugh! How Children
'@s Hate Castor Oil.
Delicious "Syrup of Figs Best to
Cleanse Their Little clogged Bowels.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the physic that mother in
sisted on-castor oil, calomel, cathar-
Lies. How you hated them, how you
,fonsht against taking them.
-, With our children it's different. The
day of harsh physie is over. We don't
force the liver and 80 feet of bowels
tnew; we coax them. We have no
:. dreaded after effects. Mothers who
cling to the old form of physic simply
DIDN'T realize what they do. The chill
.dren's revolt is well-founded. Their
iedittle stomachs and tender bowels are
,nfnjured by them.
If your child is fretful, peevish, half
sick, stomach sour, breath feverish
and it's little system full of cold; has
2 diarrhoea, sore throat, stomach-ach
doesn't eat or rest well-remember-
look at the tongue, If coated, give a
feaspoonful 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, SIENNA and aro-
MATES simply cannot be harmful. it
.sweetens the stomach, makes the liver
afactive and thoroughly cleanses 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.

By all means get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for the full name "Syr-
up of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA" pre-
