WHAT EVERY DOCTOR KNOWS.

"NATURE'S PLEASANT LAXA-

TIVE."

The day of the "dose" is over. The efforts of the medical profession to educate the public to the use of gentle-act-ing medicine have for years been unceasing. Strong purgatives —generally disagreeable in taste, and always weakening in their action —-are now recognised as a distinct danger to health. There is no longer any need to subject children to the strong action of purgatives, or to any of the nauseous doses of a past generation, such as castor oil and purgatives of chemical origin.

Doctors recommend California Syrup of Figs because of its gentle and soothing action on all stomachs, young and old, and because of its composition, which has been revealed to the medical profession. Children like California Syrup of Figs, and enjoy taking it instead of having to be coaxed or forced, as was the case with the disagreeable medicines once used. It is sold by all chemists.

California Syrup of Figs overcomes constipation gently and completely, and leaves the system permanently benefited. It relieves Headache, Lassitude, Drowsiness, Loss of Appetite, and facilitates a return to the regular bodily habits which keep constipation away.

Do not trifle with your health or that of your children; insist upon "California Syrup of Figs," and see that the package has the blue-ring trademark of- the California Fig Syrup Co. *
