Health Tests

Millions OF boys and girls all over
the world, thousands of them right
here in Texas, are being restored to
health and strength by the purely
vegetable tonic and laxative known
as California Fig Syrup and endorsed
by physicians for over so years.
Children need no urging to take IL.
They love its rich, fruity flavor.
Nothing can compete with 1t as a
gentle. but certain laxative, and il
goes further than this. II gives tone
and strength to the stomach and
bowels so these organs continue TO
act normally of their own accord. II
stimulates the appetite, helps diges-
non.
A Texas mother. Mrs. W. Fl. Shell
ton. $50 Fulton Ave, San Antonio,
says: "Mary is absolutely the picture
Of health, now, with her rudy
cheeks, bright eyes and plump but
graceful little body and she stands
at the top in every health test.
"Much of the credit for her perfect
condition is due to California Fig
Syrup. We have used IL since baby
hood 10 keep her bowels active dur
ing colds or any children's ailments
and she has always had an easy time
with them. She always responds to
its gentle urging and is quickly back
TO normal"
Ask your druggist for California
Fig Syrup and look for the word
California" on the carton so you'll
always get the genuine.
