Too much care cannot be used
with small children during the hot
weather of the summer months to
guard against bowel troubles. AS a
rule Il 10 only necessary to give the
child dose of castor oil to correct
any disorder of the bowels. Do not
use any substitute, but give the old.
fashioned castor oil, and zee that II

has q tendency TO grippe. II this does
not check the bowels give Chamber
iain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and then a dose OF castor
oil, and the diseased may be checked
In lite incipiency and all danger
avoided. The castor oil and this rem.
edy should be procured at once and
kept ready for instant use as soon
az the fret indication of any bowel
trouble appears. This 10 the most
successful treatment known and
may be relied upon with implicit
confidence even in cases OF cholera
