CHILDREN HATE CASTOR OIL AND PILLS.

California Syrup of Figs Best for Tender Stomach, Liver, Bowels— Tastes Delicious. Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "dose" mother insisted on—castor oil or pills. How you hated them I 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-founded. Their tender little "insides" are injured by drastic purgatives. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, .give only delicious California Syrup of Figs—'Califig.' Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative handy; they know that children love to take it; and that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach. A teaspoonful given to-day saves a child from a bilious attack to-morrow. Ask you chemist for a bottle of ' Califig ' — California Syrup of Figs, which has full directions for babies, children of all ages, and for grown-ups . plainly on each bottle.. See that it is made by California Fig Syrup Company. ' Califig'—California Syrup of Figs, ia sold by all chemists in bottles of two sizes, 1/lJ and 1/9. Refuse any other kind with contempt.
