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 we'll
founded. 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 a teaspoon
full given today saves a sick child to-
morrow.
Ask your druggist for bottle of
California Syrup of Figs" which has
full directions for babies, children of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly on
each bottle. Beware of counterfeits
sold here. See that it is made by
California Fig Syrup Company" Re-
