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.
