SUMMER AND THE BABY.
Hot Weather Falls and How to Avert Them
The summer months are the most dangerous to infants and young children. Cholers infantum, colic, diserboom and dysentery, come on so quickly during the hot season that often the little one is beyond aid simont before the parents realize Le is ill. No other medicice is of such aid to mothers during hot weather as Baby's Own Tableta, the Canadian children's remedy. "Read what Mrs. W. S. Bassam of Kingston, Ontario,
about them. ays a
I began using Baby's Own Tablets when my little girl was about three months old," Mrs. Bassam writes: "At that time the child had indigestion badly. She was vomiting and bad diarrhoea constantly. Food did her no good and she was very thin.
"I did not and any medisine to telp sutil we tried Baby's Own Tablets. then the vomiting and diarhoea ceased and
she began to improre almost st once. Since then whenever her stomach is out of order we give her the Tablets and the result is always all that wo desire. They are the very best medicine I have ever used for a child.”
Baby's Own Tablets can be had of druggists, or post frre, 60 cents the vial, from Dr. Williams' Medicine Co, 16, Szochnen Road, Shanghai.
