physic simply don't realise what they

If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only delicious

is positive, but gentle. Millions of
mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxa

take It; that It ntver fails to clean the
liver and bowels and sweeten the stom

saves a sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for a to-cent bottle
of "Calfornla fyrup of Figs," which has
full directions for babies, children of all
ages and for grown-ups plainly on each
bottle. Beware of eounUrfelts sold here.
