What can be the matter?
When your good little son suddenly becomes cross, contrary, tearful... something more than his disposi tion is to blame.
Probably he is constipated... he needs a laxative. But be sure to give him a laxative suited to a child's sensitive system. Give him Castoria-the laxative made especially for children-from babyhood to eleven years.

And children love Castoria's pleasant taste. They take it gladly,
