he could see her busting about her lit

A Warming to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during tho hot weather
OF the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. AS rule it is only
necessary to give tho child dose Of
castor Oil to correct any disorder of tho
bowels. DO not use any substitute, but
give the old-fashioned. castor oil, and
see that it is fresh, as rancid oil nause
ates and has: tendency to gripe. If
this does not check tho bowels give
Chamberlain's Colo, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy and then dose of castor
oil, and the disease may be checked in
it's inoipiepcy and oil danger AVOIDED.
The castor oil and this remedy should
be procured at once ond kept ready for
instant use us soon as the first indication
of any bowel trouble appeals. This is
the most snccessfnl treatment known
and may DO relied upon with implicit
confidence even in cases of cholera in
