Teething-Time Trials. Baby's Own Tablets Bring Relief For Baby And

Peace For Parents..

Fortunate indeed is the chlid who cuts his teeth without discomfort or pain. For many it is a time of great trial, as it is for the parents, too, who are deprived of sleep by the Hitje ones' cries.

This nerve irritation extends sometimes to every part of the nervous system and this is why teething troubles seem to cover such a large range of disorders. Baby's Own Tablets neutralize the nerve polson, soothe the inflammation, relieve the pain, and promote sound, healthful sleep.

Baby's Own Tablets have a mild laxative action, they dispel constipation, check vomiting, diarrhoea, and colle, correct indigestion, alloy feverishness, expel worms.
