Nui suspecting the cause CT his trouble,
we took him from the breast and began
to battle W ith the various foods on the
market. Unfortunately, we tried yours

when baby was about three months cid,
and from the first the condition OF his
stomach began TO Improve, and at no
time since has he been troubled even

USED In physloians' families than In any
other, and that tho we'll educated ply

reason is not sufficient, or when hot

shonld be In the hands OF every parent
these hot, dangerous months.
AS "A preventive of cholera infantum
1t is worth mora than all the medicines
ever made. Its!s ths one safe diet for

At the first sign of looseness recourse

builds up the strength when babies are
on the verge of some diarrhoeal disorder,
and enables the disturbed intestinal tract
TO retain Its vlgor and regularity. 1t
