Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather of
the summer months to guard against
bowel trouble AS ruleit Is only neces-
sary to give the child a dose of castor
oil to correct any disorder of the bowels.
Do not use any substitute, but give the
old fashioned castor oil, and see that it
is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates aud has
tendency to grippe. IF this does not
check the bowels give Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Disrrhoea Remedy
and then dose of castor oil, and the
disease may be che cked in it's incipiency
and all danger avoided. The castor oil
ard this remedy should be procured at
once a d kept ready for instant use as
soon as the first Indication of any bowel
trouble appears. This is the most sue
cessful treatment known and may be
7 lied upon with implicit confidence
even in case of cholera infantum. For
