CROSS, FEVERISH
CHILD is BILIOUS
OR CONSTIPATED
Look, Mother If Tongue Is Coated
Give California Syrup of
Figs

Every mother realizes, after giving her
children California Syrup of Figs" that
this is their ideal laxative, because they
love its pleasant taste and it thoroughly
eleanses the tender little stomach, liver
and bowels without gripping.
When cross, irritable, feverish or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the
tongue, motherl If coated, give a tea
spoonful of this harmless "fruit laxa-
tive" and in a few hours all the foul,
constipated waste, sour bile and undi-
gested food passes out of the bowels, and
you have a well, playful child again.
When its little system is full of cold,
throat sore, has stomach ache, diarrhea,
Indigestion, colic-remember, a good Gin
side cleansing should always be the
first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep california
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a tea
spoonful to-day saves sick child to-
morrow. Ask your druggist for bottle
of California Syrup Of Figs" which has
directions for babies, children of all ages
and grown-ups printed on the bottle. Be-
ware of counterfeits sold here so don't
be fooled. Get the genuine, made by
California Fig Syrup Company. ADV.
