Your child isn't naturally cross and peevish. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels need a cleans ing at once. When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, has stomach ache, diarrhoea, remember, a gentle liver and bowel cleansing should always be the first treatment given. Nothing equals "California Syrup of Figs" for children's ills; give a tea spoonful, and in a few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fermenting food which iB clogged in the bowels passes out of the system, and you have a well and playful child again. All children love this harmless, delicious "fruit laxative," and it never fails to effect a good "inside" cleansing. Di rections for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on the bottle. Keep it handy in your home. A little given ta-day saves a sick child to morrow, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a 60-cent bottle of "Cali fornia Syrup of Figs," then look and see that it is made by the "California Fig Syrup Company."—Adv.
