HARTFORD
 Girl Gains Weight Amazingly

MATURE controls all the func- 1N tions of our digestive organs save one. We control that; and lot of trouble it causes.
 Children suffer when they don observe regular bowel habits, Breath becomes fetid: tongue coated; eyes dull. A host of ailments: bilious ness, feverishness, lack of appetite follow if we neglect this warning that a child's bowels need help.
 In such cases California Fig Syr- up never fails to help by the prompt opening of clogged intestines. The first spoonful does that: and relieves the common symptoms of constipa- tion. Successive doses help tone and strengthen weak stomach and bowels; improve appetite; encourage

digestion and assimilation. Inafew days a child is well, happy and bright again.
 The way children improve when California Fig Syrup is used is the best proof of its merit. Here's an example: Mrs. A. E. Feldstein, 37 Milford St., Hartford, says: Sylvia was bothered with constipation several years ago and [ decided to give her California Fig Syrup. It made such a difference in her that l have used it since then for every little upset. It helps her digestion; regulates her bowels; keeps her strong and energetic. I am sure it is one thing that is help ing her gain weight at such a won- derful rate now"
