Risk Children Run
In The Far East
In Chins and the tropical East babies and young children are sub- ject to much greater health risks than are those who live in more temperate lands, for reasons as80 ciated with climatic conditions and environment. Every thoughtful parent knows this, and should take precautions accordingly.
One of the best safeguards for the health of your little ones is to j be found in Baby's Own Tableta, a medicina especially prepared for the use of children, and guaranteed absolutely wholesome and safe for
even the youngest Infant.
The first effect of Baby's Own Tablets is to gently move the bowels. Then they cool feverishness, relieve Indigestion, colle, croup or colds,
cheek diarrhoea, allay teething pains, expel worme, quiet the nerves, promote restful, health- giving sleep. Chemists sell them,
