"They take away" BABY'S TEETHING FEVER
So writes Mrs. B.....of North Sydney. Then a Toronto mother says: "I used Baby's Own Tablets and the bables were always so good. No cramps, pain or trou- ble when teething. In fact, I hard- [ly knew they were cutting their teeth as they never were any [trouble at night.".
Baby's Own Tablets act through the digestive organs and by set- tling the stomach and soothing the 'sore gums induce sound, rest- ful sleep. 'A single dose is often, sufficient to bring comfort to the teething child.
of For other health disorders childhood the tablets are equally beneficial. Infantile indigestion, colic, constipation, vomiting, diar- rhoea, worms, colds.
Baby's Own Tablets are a safe and reliable health speciflc for children of all ages. From chem- lists everywhere.
