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.
In 5,000,000 American homes Castoria is the : standby when a child is out of sorts. Mothers depend upon it because it is thorough and gentle... will never cause griping pain or upset stomach like some of the harsh adult laxatives.
And children love Castoria's pleasant taste. They take it gladly.
