SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

1t is cruel to force nauseating,
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.
