MOTHER! GIVE CHILD
"SYRUP OF FIGS" IF
TONGUE is COATED
If Gross, Feverish, Sick, Bilious,
Clean Little Liver and
Bowels.

Children love this "fruit laxative, ;"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
atomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop play
ing to empty its bowels, and the re
suit is, they become tightly clogged
with waste, liver gets sluggish, stom-
ach sours, then your little one be
comes cross, half sick, feverish, don't
eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is
bad, system full of cold, has sore
throat, stomach ache or diarrhoea
Listen, Mother! See if tongue is
coated, then give a teaspoonful Of
California Syrup of Figs" and in
few hours all the coastipated waste,
sour bile and undigesttd food passes
out of the system, and you havea
well, playful child again.
Millions of mothers give "Califor-
MIA Syrup of Figs" because it is per-
fectly harmless; children love it and
it never fails to act on the stomach,
liver and bowels.
Ask your druggist for bottle of
"California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, chill
dren of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly printed on the bottle Be
ware of counterfeits sold here. Get
the genuine, made by "California Fig
Syrup Company" Refuse any other
kind with contempt.
