SYRUP Of FIGS
FOR GROSS. SICK
FEVERISH CHILD
If Little Stomach Is
Sour, Liver Torpid or
Bowels Clogged
Mothers can rest easy after giving
"California Syrup of Figs," because in
a few hours all the cloggedup waste,
sour bile and fermenting foot! gently
moves out of the bowels, and you have
a well, playful child again. Children
simply will not take the time from play
to empty their bowels, and they become
tightly packed, liver gets sluggish and
stomach disordered.
When cross, feverish, restless, see if
tongue is coated, then give this delicious
"fruit laxative." Children love it, and
it cannot cause injury. No difference
what ails your little one —if full of
cold, or a sore throat, diarrhoea, stom
achache, bad breath, remember, a gentle
"inside cleansing" should alw ays be the
first treatment given. Full directions
for babies, children of all ages and
grown-ups are printed on each bottle.
Beware of counterfeit fig s .ups. Ask |
your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of
"California Syrup of Figs," then look
carefully and see that it is made by
ilie "California Fig Syrup Company."!
We make no smaller size. Hand back j
with contempt nnv other fit; svrup.—-J

| 193, compared with $23,528,080 iu
I the same month last year, and $14.-

i 135, or less by $5,000,000 than in De
| cember, and only about $2,500,000
more than the receipts from the same

the estimate of government revenues
j for the fiscal year ending June 30,
next, contemplated internal revenue re
ceipts of $25,000,000 per month and
about $7,500,000 per month from the
emergency tax, a total almost $5,500,-
j 000 in excess of that actually pro
duced during the 30-dav period just
finished.

Pennsylvania Railroad Station, will

give those who have not yet used this
excellent remedy an opportunity of
trying it, at partially his expense, as he
knows that no other medicine will be
used by anyone who lias once tried it.
Those who have not already used this
remedy are thus afforded an oppor

can obtain a bottle for 25e to-day or
to-morrow, by presenting the coupon
below at Geo. A. Gorgas' Drug Store.
Even though not in need of such a med
icine at present, it will pay to obtain
a bottle now at half price, as no doubt
someone in the family will require it
before the winter is over, but will not
have another chance of buying for less
than full price, 50c. This new, simple,
pleasant remedy is also guaranteed to
relieve the worst Cough or Cold, and is
excellent for Bronchial Asthma, Bron
