"Wait- get it, Mummy.” | And out he runs.

Because we don't want too many open clashes with Billy, if possible. Neither is it cowardly. indirect ruling is the answer to a number of things in life and it has never been considered illegitimate yet.

MEDICINAL SYRUP

COMFORT FOR CHILDREN

For more than sixty years physicians have prescribed CASTORIA for children's com- mon ailments. It regulates their sensitive systems by set- tling the stomach and gently stimulating the bowels.

Castoria tastes so good that children like to take it. It is a harmless, effective remedy for even the smallest infant. Mild and gentle in action, Castoria never gripes.
