CHILD GETS SICK,
CROSS, FEVERISH
IF CONSTIPATED
Look at tongue! Then give fruit
laxative for stomach,
liver, bowels.
"California Syrup of Figs" can't I
harm children and
they love it.
Mother! Tour child isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
coatdd; this is a sure sign the tittle,
stomach, liver and bowels need a :
cleansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full ofj
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't 1
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom- |
acb-ache. diarrhoea, remember, a I
gentle liver and bowel cleansing!
should always bo the first treatment
(Tiven.
Nothing equals "California Syrup of
Figs" for children's ills; give a tea
spoonful, and in a few hours all the 1
foul waste, sour bile and fermenting l
food which is clogged in the bowels i
passes out of the system, and you have
a well and playful child again.. All j
children love this harmless, delicious i
"fruit laxative," and it never falls to j
effect a good "inside" cleansing. Dl-1
rections for babies, children of all
ages and grown-ups are plainly on
the bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. A
little given to-day saves a sick ehlld
to-morrow, but get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for a 60-cent bottle of
"California Byrup of Figs." then see
that it is made by the "California Fig
, Syrup Company."

it ifc expected that the native labor

when the first detachments of natives
were sent to France was that climatic
conditions would prove an obstacle,
particularly the rigor of the European
winter. The mortality last winter,
however, was very low, and Iho
disease that was most dreaded, pneu
