No mother in this enlightened age
would give her baby something she
did not know was perfectly harmless
and reliable, especially when few
drops of plain Castoria will right a
baby's stomach and end almost any
little i'll throughout the system. Fret
fulness and fever, too; it seems no
time until everything is serene.
That's the beauty of Castoria; its
gentle influence seems just what is
needed. 1t does all that castor oil
might accomplish, and without shock
to the system. Without the evil
taste. Castoria is delicious! Your
own tongue will tell you why "Chil-
