IF YOUR LITTLE GIRL

Still Plays

with

Dolls

Before you know it that little girl of yours will be grown up. But now-her needs are a child's needs. She must be carefully watched; she must be encour aged in regular habits of climination. When constipa- tion does occur she should have a child's laxative. For harsh, adult laxatives may double her over with a griping pain-or upset her digestion... sure proof that they are too strong for a child's delicate system.

Be cautious. Give your child Castoria-it is the laxative made especially for children—from baby. 'hood to cleven years. It is gentle - yet thorough. It contains no castor oil, no harmful, habit-forming ingredients. And children take it willingly-they love its "candy" taste!

For constipation, for colic due to gas, upset stomach and the first symptoms of a cold, always give your child Castoria...

Get a bottle today. Discover the ideal laxative for your child-the laxative that is made especially, for children, from babyhood to eleven years.
