CHILDREN HATE
PILLS, CALOMEL
AND CASTOR OIL
If Cross, Feveish, COnstipated, Give
California Syrup Of
Figs"

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 its different Moth
ers who cling TO the old form of physic
simply don't realize what they do. The
childrcn's revolt is well founded. Their
tender little "insides" are injured by
them.
If your child's stomach, liver and bow
els need cleansing, give only delicious
California Syrup Of Figs" Its action is
positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers
keep this harmless "frdt laxative" nan
dy; they know children love to take it
that it never fails to clean the liver and
bowels andg sweeten the stomach, and
that teaspoonful given to-day saves a
sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of "Cal.
ifornia Syrup of Figs which has full
directions for babies, children of all ages
and for grown-ups plainly on each bot.
tie. Beware of counterfeits sold here
See that it is made by California Fig
Syrup Company" Refuse any other kind
with eontempt-Adv.

Fred Gorham of South Newbury has a

rest gives 100 pounds. We understand
that bossy gives this extra nine pounds
on Sunday in order that Fred may have
an extra bowl of milk when he returns

with the plain fact of 700 pounds in
seven days These we can prove without
