Sound Refreshing Sleep At Teething Time.
Often the cutting of the first teeth are the cause of much suffering, and entait many sleepless nights for both the little one and his parents. But how easily this trying period may bo overcome with the minimum of pain and discomfort if parents know the value of Baby's Own Tablets. These pleasant-tasting little tablets are the prescription of a medical child- specialist. Their mild laxative action cleanses the stomach and bowels, with tho result that serves are soothed.. Hound restful sleep follows, and teeth-
becomes easy. Non-griping and “ non-pargid for the correction of all Baby Own Tablets are equally good
as con- rinor health
such troubles stipation, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhoen, colds and croup aimple fever, and are of assistance in expoll ing worms. For children of all ages from the cradle up to twelve there is no better health safeguard than Baby's Own Tablets. From chemists everywhere.
