When y0W
Children Cry
for 1t

Baby has little upsets at times. All
your care cannot prevent them. But
you can be prepared. Then you can
do what any experienced nurse
would do-what most physicians
would tell you to do-give . few
drops OF plain Castoria. No sooner
done than Baby is soothed: relief is
Just a matter OF moments. Yet you
have eased your child without use
Of single doubtful drug: Castorla
is vegetable. So it's safe to use as
often as an infant has any littlc
pain you cannot pat away. And it's
always ready for the crueler pangs
of collie, or constipation. or diarrhea:
effective. too, for older children.
Twenty-Five million bottles were
bought last year.
