No terrort, no leary, no upsst for children or parents cither, now that Baby's Own Tablets, the pleasant-tasting children's remedy, have solved the problem. No more nauseating purgatives that gripe and injure the child's delicate internal membranes.

Though they. are so pleasant in appearance and taste, so com pact and easy to administer, they are none icas surely effective in their gentle, natural, soothing way. By keeping the stomach and bowals healthy, and clean they maintain a high standard of vitality and health which safeguards a child from attacks of. infantile ailments such as are usually caused by an unhealthy and congested condition of these organs.
