Give "California Syrup of Figs" at
once a teaspoonful today often saves
a sick child tomorrow.
If youi little one is out-of-sorts, half
sick. Isn't resting, eating, and acting
naturally look. Mother! see If tongue
is coated. This Is a sure sign that its
little stomach, liver, and bowels are
clogged with waste. When cross, irri
table, feverish, stomach sour,- breath
bad. or has stomach ache, diarrhoea,
sore throat, full of cold, give a tea
spoonful of "California Syrup of Figs,"
and in a few hours all the constipated
poison, undigested food, and sour bile
gently moves out of its little bowels
without griping, and you have a well,
playful child again.
Mothers can rest easy after giving
this harmless "fruit laxative," because
It never falls to cleanse the little one's
liver and bowels and sweeten the stom
ach, and they dearly love Its pleasant
taste. Full directions for babies, chil
