Ten DoUara Needed Girl at the Top in Health Teat Millions of boys and girls all over the world, thousands of them right here in the West are being restored to health and strength by the purely vegetable tonIc and laxative known as Calltomla Fig Syrup and endorsed by physicians for over 50 years. Children need no urging to take lt. !rhey love Its rich, fruity flavor. Nothing can compete with It as a gen. tie, but certain laxative, and It goes further than this. It gives tone and strength to the stomach and bowels so these organs continue to act normally, of their own accord. It stimulates the appetite, helps digestion. A. Kansas mother, Mrs. Dana All· glre, 610 Monroe St., Topeka, says: "Bonnie B. Is absolutely the picture of beafth, now, with her mddy cheeks, bright eyes and plump but rracetul little body and she stands at the top In every health test. Much of the credit tor bet" perfect rondltlon Is due to Callforula Fig Syrup. We have used It since babyhood to keep her bowels active durIng colds or any children's allmeuta and she has always had an easy time with them. She always responds to Its gentle urging and Is quickly back to normal." Ask your druggist for California ll'lg Syrup and look for the word "Calltomla" on the carton so you'U always get the cenulne.
