Watch the Tongue of your Young! Your little Pets need Cascarets

Children think Cascarets just dandy, They are safe and mild cathartic candy. Sell for a dime "work" every time.

MOTHERS! Clean the cloed-up places. Do away with the bile, souf fermentations and constipation poison which is keeping your little one cross, feverish ar.d sick. Children love Cascarets, because to them it is like eating candy. Cascarets act better than castor oil, calomel or pills cn the tender stomach, liver and bowels. Cascarets never ripe, never injure, and do net disappoint the worried mother. Give harmless Cascarets to children one year old and upwards. Each ten cent box contains full directions.
