Does YOUR BABY Cry?

Your baby does not cry for fun. It is his only way of telling you that something is wrong. Colic, indiges- tion, sour stomach, diarrhea and constipation are a few of the minor ailments that may upset your child's system and spoil his disposition. Castoria is the medi- cine prepared especially for these simple children's allments, so do not experiment with strong, harsh

remedies intended for adults. Use only Cas- toria. Your child will love its pleasant taste and there are no barmful after-effects.
