Does YOUR BABY Cry?
Your baby does not cry for fun. It is his only way of telling you that something is wrong. Colic, indiges. tion, sour stomach, diarrhics and constipation are a few of the minor ailments that may upset your child's system and spoil his disposition. Castoria is the medi cine prepared especially for these simple children's ailments, so do not experiment with strong, harsh remedies intended for adults. Use only Cas- turia. Your child will love its pleasant taste and there are no harmful after-effects.
