"I WISH MINE DID"

"Yesterday my tummy felt funny and I was awful cross. So Mother gave me some good-tasting Castoria. Now I feel happy again."

Lucky is the child whose mother keeps Castoria always ready for the little upsets that will come even to the healthiest children. For Castoria is the ideal laxative for children. It is made especially for children.

Quickly, safely and gently Castoria relieves con- stipation and restores a child to his normal vigor and high spirits. There is no struggle to get a child to take Castoria..... It is so pleasant-tasting. Nor will it cause the griping and nausea that are often caused by adult laxatives which are too strong for a child's tender system.
