Remember the “dose" mother insisted on—castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children It’s different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don’t realize what they do. The children’s revolt is well-found ed. Their tender little “insides" are Injured by them. If your child’s stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli* clous “California Syrup of Figs.” Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless “fruit laxative’’ handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sw^eet- en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor row.

At little cost one can get a small bot tle of freezone at any drug store, which will positively rid one’s feet of everj corn or callus without pain or sore ness or the danir«*r of infection. This new drug is an ether cDuipound. and dries the moment it is applied and does not inflame or even irritate the surroun»ling skin.
