When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs oq which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome snd the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, spprove and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrnp of Figs is the only remedy which acta gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-ticathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and aa you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits.
