CHILDREN HATE PILLS, CALOMEL AND CASTOR OIL l Give Fruit Laxative when cross, bilious, feverish or constipated "California Syrup of Figs" can't harm tender stomach, liver, bowels Look back at your childhood days. Remember tho "dose" mother insist ed on—castor oil, calomel, cathar tics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it's different. . Mothers who clihg to the old form of j ( physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is . well-founded. Their tender little , "insides" are injured by them. • If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only de licious "California Syrup of Figs." ■ Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harm- ( less "fruit laxative" lrandy; they know children love to take it; -that • it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves * a sick child tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a bottle of i "California Syrup of Figs," which ] has full directions for babies, chll- i dren of all ages and for grown-ups i plainly on each bottle. Beware j of counterfeits sold here. See t that it is made by "California Fig 1 Byrup Company." Refuse any other c kind with contempt. 1 ■ • ciMm t Get a Slice of the SIOO In Cash Prizes ™""—■■——^__OH | We are now offering four'people FOR THE BEST SLOGAN by which the auto owner can be directed in the fewest words the shortest route to the only Willard Service Sta tion in Harrisburg and our New Parking Place.
