"I WISH MINE DID"

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.
