SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

1t is cruel to force nauSeatinq,
harsh physic into a

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on - castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them. how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli

action is positive. but gentle. Millions
OF mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

given today saves a sick child tomor-

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture Of Sage Tea

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
mstre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff. itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays.
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray. Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. by morning the gray
hair disappears. and after another ap-
