When children won't eat and won’t gain weight

The youngster who has no appetite, probably has stasis. A little syrup of figs will soon correct this condition --then watch the child eat--and gain! Mothers should never coax a child to eat. Nature knows best. Remove the cause of a youngster’s poor ap-petite--get rid of stasis. Children who don’t eat are sluggish. Read what the “California treatment” is doing for sluggish, listless children in every part of the country! A POUND A WEEK. Your child will eat well from the day and hour you conquer sluggishness. But that girl or boy with furry tongue and a bad breath should not be dosed with salts! Begin tonight, with enough pure syrup of figs to cleanse the colon thoroughly. Less tomorrow, then every other day, or twice a week, until the appetite, digestion, weight, complexion, tell you the stasis is gone. When a cold or other ailment has again clogged the system, syrup of figs will soon set things to right. When appetite fails, tongue is coated white, eyes are a bilious yellow, California syrup of figs will gently stimulate the colon muscles --and the child you used to coax to eat will fairly devour his food. The claims made for California Syrup of Figs are true and it will do the same for you--IF you get genuine CALIFORNIA Syrup of Figs. Don't accept any substitute.
