Of course you would not give your baby a cigar or adult food because you know babies require special care and treatment. That is why you spend so much time in the preparation of his special food. Yet when baby's system is upset and he is troubled with colic, diarrhea, sour stomach, indigestion or constipation, are you careful to use only medicine that has been made especially for him? Castoria is the ideal remedy for your child because it has been pre- pared especially for infants and children. It is mild, pleasant. tasting and easy to take. The next time your baby is upset by some simple child ailment, use Cas. toria, safe for even the newborn infant.
