Remember the “dose” mother insisted on—castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children’s revolt is well-found¬ ed. Their tender little “insides'’ are injure,d by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli¬ cious “California Syrup of Figs.” Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless “fruit laxative” handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet¬ en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor¬ row.
