It contains nourishing everyday foods like bread, milk, fruit, meat, vegetables, fish, served in an order that has been proved to be body-building without producing in the normal person an excess of fat.

But it is an admirable diet-basis also for the too-thin woman who will soon begin to put on the yearned-for weight if she has extra helpings of all the dairy-produce items such` as cream, butter, eggs, and starchy vegetables such as pota-

In millions of American homes Castoria is the first thought when a child has a headache, an upset stom- ach, or shows the first symptoms of a cold. These mothers know that Castoria is safe, gentle, effective... that it is exactly suited to a child's delicate system. And children love its taste! Castoria does not con- tain castor oil.
