MOTHER! DON’T TAKE
CHANGES E CH LO’S
TONGUE S COATED
If cross, feverish, sick, bil
ious, clean little liver
and bowels
Children love this “fruit laxa
tive,” and nothing else cleanses
the tender stomach, liver and
bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop
playing to empty the bowels, and
the result is, they become tightly
clogged with waste, liver gets
sluggish, stomach sours, then
your little one becomes 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! Se if tongue is
coated, then give a teaspoonful
of “California Syrup of Figs,”
and in a few hours all the consti
pated waste, sour bile and undi
gested food passes out of the sys
tem, and you have a well, playful
child again.
Millions of mothers give “Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs” because it
is perfectly harmless;, children
love it, and it never fails to act
on the stomach, liver and bowels.
Ask your druggist for a 50 cent
bottle of “California Syrup of
Figs,” which has full directions
for babies, children of ail ages
and for grown-ups plainly printed
cn the bottle. Beware of counter
feits sold here. Get the genuine,
made by “California Fig Syrup
Company.” Refuse any other
kind with contempt, adv,
