If your child is ander eleven-be exceful what laxative you give him! He should have a special laxa- tive-a child's laxative.

..

For adult laxatives are often too harsh for a child's sensitive system. They may cause him griping pain or an upset digestion. It may be difficult to get a child to take a bad-tasting medicine.

But such things need not be. For there is one laxa- tive that is perfect for children... Castorial Castoria is made especially for children—from babyhood to eleven years. You can give it to your child with con^ fidence. Castorla is gentle--yet thorough. It contains no castor oil, no harmful habit-forming ingredients. And children love its "candy" taste!

In more than 5,000,000 American homes, mothers give their children Castoria for consti- pation, colic due to gas, upset stomach and the first symptoms of a cold.

Get a bottle of Castoria today. Be ready for the little upsets that come to every child, Give Castoria →the laxa- tive that is made especially for children.
