When TEETHING makes HIM FUSSY One ot the most important things you can do to make a teething baby ~omfortable is to see that llttle bowels do thelr work ot carrying off waste matter promptly and regularly. For this nothing is better than Castoria, a pure vegetable preparation specially made for babies and children. Castoria acts so gently you ~ad give it to young infants to relieve colic. Yet it is always effective, for older children, too. Remember, Castoria contains no harsh aru.gs. n~.rarcotics-is absolutely harmless. When your baby is fretful with teething or a food upset, give a cleansing dose of Castoria.

If his throat feels sore, he will end the soreness with one good gargle made from these tablets. Dangerous complications can follow the neglect of "a common cold!" Every case of tonsilitis began ·with "just a sore throat!" It's a wise plan to take aspirin after any undue exposure to bad weather, or whenever there is any chance that you've caught cold.
