Wher, the Baby
Needs a Laxotiue---

Noone knows better than the ever -watchful
mother-the natural doctor of the family il
all the small ills-that when the baby is out
of sorts it is usually due to indigestion or
constipation.
1t is always well, in any of its illnesses, to
look for this cause. The diet may have to be
changed, but before good can result from it,
the bowels must be moved.
The mother has the choice of many medi-
cines-cathartics, purgatives, bitter waters,
pills, physics, etc. But the little body
doesn't need such harsh remedies for they
wrench the system and do only temporary
good, SO often followed by an unpleasant
reaction.
