Very small children or infants will take them
best dissolved in a little water. Should they
act as an emetic, or produce nausea, the dose
must be lessened to what the stomach will bear.
Half of one will generally be sufficient to take
before breakfast, as the stomach is more easily
sickened. No i'll effects can arise from an
over dose, as it will cause the stomach TO re-.

will be found TO give relief. Where there is
