Mothers earn rest easy after giving
“California Syrvp of Figs,” because
in a few hears all the clogged-up
waste, sour bile and fermenting food
gently moves eut of the bowels, and
you havo a well, playful child again.
Children simply will not take the time
from play to empty their bowels, and
they become tightly packed, liver gets
sluggish and stomach disordered.
When cross, feverish, restless, see
if tongue is coated, then give this de
licious “fruit laxative.” Children love
it, and it cannot cause* injury. No
difference wTrat ails your little one—
if full of cold, or sore throat, diar
rhoea, stomach-ache, bad breath, re
member, a gentle “inside cleansing”
should always be the first treatment
given. Full directions for babies, chil
dren of all ages and grown-ups are
printed on each bottle.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a bot
tle of “California Syrup of Figs,”
then look carefully and see that it is
made by the “California Fig Syrup
Company.” We make no smaller size.
Hand back with contempt any other
fig syrup, advt.
