Easy Teething

There are few more trying times for а mother than when her child is teething. A simple and ready solution to the fretting of both mother and child is to be found in Baby's Own Tablets, for these pleasant little tablets allay the pains and assist the process of teething so quickly and easily as to seem almost magical.

"My baby had a hard time cut- ting her teeth. She was feverish and did not sleep well at night. I gave her Baby's Own Tablets with fine results. Now she is a healthy child and I recommend the Tablets to other mothers", writes Mrs. Peter Vertefeuille, of 81. Main Street, Willimantic, Pa. U.S.A.

Baby's Own Tablets also correct infantile indigestion, constipation, colic, cool feverishness, check diarrhoea, relieve croup and colds, expel worms.
