sluggish. But caInartics have caused
more constipation than they ever
cured! The california treatment"
is best-just pure syrup of figs. Try
this for a few days, then see how
eagerly your youngster will eat.
Stimulate the colon and that child
with a finicky appetite will devour
everything set before him. Here's
the simple treatment that does more
for babies or older children than all
the diets, fad foods, or tonics.
Nature has provided the ''medi-
cine" you'll need to stir your child's
colon muscles into proper action.
California syrup of figs. Pure, de-
licious, harmless. 1t acts on the
lower colon-where the trouble is.

enough the first time to cleanse the
clogged colon of every bit of poison
and hard waste. Then just little

along this line is that directors of COM

Sir Frederick's task was to obtain

latter part of his job perhaps was a
success. He reported to his govern
