SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

It is cruel to force nauSeating,
harsh physiC into a
sick child.

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
cious California Syrup of Figs" Its
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
en- the stomach. and that teaspoonful
given today saves sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for 5O-cent bottle
Of California Syrup Of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
OF all ages and for grown.ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.
