Sensible
Nursing Bottle.

The common, everyday nurs-
ing bottle is built on poor plan.
1t has but one opening. Through
this the milk Is admitted, and
from 1t, through a nipple, the
child struggles to get it out The
law Of physics cannot be ignored
even in so simple a thing as a
nursing bottle. The vacuum left
by the milk.must be filed. The
nipple collapses, and to relieve
this the child stops feeding for a
moment. Air rushes into the
bottle. The child starts feeding
again, and repeats the perform
ance until the contents are taken.
The 'Best Nurser" is made on
novel plan. A valve in the
bottom of the bottle admits air
as the contents are taken. The
child feeds easily, without any
danger of wind collie; no collaps-
ing nipple, no worrying, crying
infant. Price % cents.
