- Do They Give You Baby's Own Tablets? Bonny, healthy, happy chil- -dren--overywhere—are—as- enthusiastic as their parents about this splendid health- | regulator, that is so pleasant in teste and appearance, that in so gentle in its action, yet so re- lizble as both preventative and corrective of babyhood und childhood ailments,

BABY'S OWN TABLETS should be in every home mother's ever-ready stand-by. They quickly correct infantile indigestion, colle, constipation and stomach and bowel iroubles generally. The tablets will check diarrhoea, expel worms, allay fever, colds and croup. During teething they are a boon to baby, easing the pains and thus inducing sound natural sleep, although they contain no deleterious drug elements what-

ever.

па

An occasional tablet is an ex- [cellent_regulator and eliminates those dangers which arise from incomplete cleansing of the in- testinal tract
