THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Life out cf doors and out of the g-ames which they play and the enjoy
ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the
greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their
happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is
g-iven to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs
on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its
component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,
well-informed, approve 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.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gent
naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and
system effectually, without producing that constipated h
from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imiti
which the children should be so carefully guarded. If yc
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and I
them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and w
assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the sii
gentle Syrup of Figs.
Its quality is due not only to the excellence of t.ie cc
laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syru
also to our original method of manufacture and as you v
the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which i
ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genui

scum between two and three Inches
thick over the surface of the tank; this
cum, I was lnfoftned. Is composed of
