The idea is too prevalent that when symptoms of constipation ■■ occur, sluggish liver, headache, biliousness, indigestion, and dizziness, a drastic purgative- is required. This is ;• not so. Strong, purgatives aggravate the constipated condition by dangerously weakening the organs thoy act upon. The liver,; stomach,'and kidneys must he toned up and strengthened as well as cleansed and correct*, ed. California Syrup of Figs performs this ■ double duty - pleasantly, '■■ safely, '. and always thoroughly, overcoming instead of intensify-' ing the tendency to habitual constipation. It assists ; nature without ;strain : or , violence. California Syrup; of Figs is ■as ■ effective and reliable with the strong and: robust adult as < with tho fragile child.
