HAPPY CHILDHOOD

Let BABY'S OWN TABLETS Keep
Your Children Well.
Little children vory quickly get 'out-of-sorts.' By prompt frost- ment they can usually quickly be set right again. Most of their troubles arise in the first place from the stomach or bowels; that is why a good cleaning-out is the first thing prescribed by the doctor. Formerly Castor Oil was the moans used to bring about this; now-a-days Baby's Own Tablots do just the same work, but without trouble to the paront or discomfort to the little, patient. Children take Baby's Own Tablets happily bogause there is no nasty taste, and no griping after-pains follow their use.
