A CHILD DOESN'T
 f LAUGH AND PLAY 7 F C0NST|PATED
If Peevish, Feverish and Sick, Give
 California Syrup of Figs"

Mother! Your child isn't naturally cross and peevish. See if tongue is coated; this is sure sign it's little stomach, liver and bowels need a, cleansing at once.
 When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, does not eat, sleep Or act naturally, has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, remember, a gentle liver and bowel cleansing should always be the first treatment given.
 Nothing equals "California Syrup of Figs" for children's ills; give tea spoonful, and in 8 few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fermenting food which is clogged in the bowels passes out of the system, and you have a we'll and playful child again. All children love this harmless. delicious "fruit laxative" and it never fails to effect a good inside" cleaning. Di- lections for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on the bottle.
 Keep it handy in your home. A lit tie given today saves sick child to- morrow, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs" then look and see that it is made by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Company. ."-Adv.
