"My Answer is Always

Baby's Own Tablets," Mothers in all parts of the world are constantly writing to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., expressing appreciation for the good which their children have derived from Baby's Own Tablets; one such let- ter comes from Mrs. J. A. Brown. Bayside, F. E. I, who writes as follows:

"Being a mother of eight chil- dren, and all healthy ones. I have often been asked, 'How Is it your babies are all so good and thrive so well?My answer is always the same, 'Baby's Own Tablets is all the medicine I ever give them.* Whenever I notice any signs of stomachache or a cold coming on, I always give tablet. Even when the children are quite well I give an occasional tablet as a preven- tive."

Baby's Own Tablets are the pre- scription of a physician and ere guaranteed to contain nothing in- Jurious, their mild laxative action makes them the ideal children's medicine, for they may be given to the yourigest infant in arma well as to children up to seven years.

In every home where there are young children, Baby's Own Tablets should be kept handy for fristant use whenever the little ones require a corrective for minor health troubles such as constipa- tion, indigestion, colic, colds and croup, when they are troubled with worms, or дге soffering with teething pains. Every chemist zells Baby's Own Tablets.
