It May Be Uitjknt V i ■■■■■> ‘ • 'w .i '4 Tim • When your Children Cry for It Castoria is a comfort when Baby is fretful. No sooner taken than the little one is at ease. If restless, a few drops soon bring contentment. No harm done, for Castoria is a baby remedy, meant for babies. Perfectly safe to give the youngest infant; you have the doctors’ word for that It is a vegetable product and you could use it every day. But it’s in an emergency that Castoria means most. Some night when constipation must be relieved—or colic pains—or other suffering. Never be without it; some mothers keep an extra bottle, unopened, to make sure there will be Castoria in the house. It is effective for older children, too; read the book that comes with it.
