How To Help Your Baby At Teething Time.
The heartfelt wish of every mother. is to help her little one all she can during the difficult period of teething. Mothers who once try Baby's Own Tablets at this time are so delighted with their immediately comforting, helpful action that they never return to the old-fashioned teething powders and so-called "cothing mixtures" gr example, a mother in Toronto writes: "When my baby was getting his teeth he had a cold, couldn't cat and couldn't sleep. I was u] for about three weeks with him. I tried everything, but nothing was any good until I tried Baby's Own Tablets. They made him well. I couldn't get along without them now."
For
These sweet-tasting little, tablets are an immediate aid in relieving the infammation in the gums and remov- ing congestions in stomach, liver and Intestines thant are common at teething time.
Their effect is so soothing and cool- ing that the child drops off to sleep naturally and wakes up refreshed, cheerful and hungry for its meal.
Full directions for giving Baby's wn Tablets from infancy to 12 yeurs
ars of age are given with each package. Besides teething troubles.. these tablets are effective for simple fevers, constipation, diarrhoea, upset stomach, colds, croup, sleeplessness. Your chemist has them.
