MOTHER! IS CHILD'S STOMACH SOUR, SICK?

If Cress, feverish, constipated, "California 8yrup of Figs."

give

Don't scold your fretful, peevish

child. See If tongue Is coated; this is

a sure sign Its little stomach, liver and

bowels are clogged with sour waste.

When listless, pale, feverish, full of

cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn t

eat, sleep or act naturally, has atom

ach-ache. Indigestion, diarrhoea, give a.

teaspoonnil of "California Syrup of

Figs," and in a few hours all the 'foul waste, the sour bile and fermenting food passes out of the bowels and you have a well and playful child again.

Children love this harmless "fruit laxative," and mothers can rest easy after

giving it, because it never falls to make their little "lnsldes" clean and

sweet.

Keep It handy, Mother! A little given today saves a sick child tomorrow, but get the genuine. Ask your

druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has di

rections for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the

bottle. Remember there are counter

felts sold here, so surely look and see

that yours is made by the "California

Fig Syrup Company." Hand back with

contempt any other fig syrup. adv.
