MOTHER! LOOK AT
CHILD’S TONGUE
If cross, feverish, constipated,
give “California Syrup
of Figs ”
A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother ! If eoat
?d, or your child is listless, cross, fev
erish, breath bad. restless, doesn’t eat
heartily, full of cold or has sore throat
or any other children's ailment, give a
teaspoonful of “California Syrup of
Figs.” then don’t worry, because It is
perfectly harmless, and in a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently
move out of the bowels, and you have
a well, playful child again. A thor
ough “inside cleansing" is ofttimes all
that is necessary. It should be the
first treatment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of
“California Syrup of Figs,” which has
full directions for babies, children of
