Medicine giving and medicine tak- ing are quite a simple ceremony in homes where Baby's Own Tablets are used, for the children like them, Not only are they pleasant in taste but they have none of those uncomfort- able after-effects which make castor ull, gregory powders, and senna tea so hateful to the young,
Gently laxative, the first action of Baby's Own Tableta is on, the stomach and intestinal tract, those regions, wherein most of childhood's ordinary ailments originate. Thus they quickly cleanse away impurities, and set digestion right.
As a result, the child's nerves are soothed, teething pains vanish and the teething process is assisted, feverishness, if any, is allayed, croup and colds are eased. Then, calmed and comforted, the freiful, suffering child goes off into a health-restoring sleap from which it awakens rested, happy, and ready for its meal.
