These pleasant tasting little-tablets are just the thing to break up a cold. Mildly laxative, they cleanse the little one's stomach and bowels, tone up appetite and improve his general health.

The prescription of a medienl child-specialist, Baby's Own Tablets Are guaranteed pure and safe even for the youngest infant in arms,

For all childish allments such as constipation, wind', colle, simple fever, diarrhoea, colds and croup, to ense, the pains of teething and expel worms, there is no better medicine for the young than Baby's Own Tablets, sold by chemists everywhere.
