COMFORT
for COLICKY BABIES
. . . THROUGH CASTORLA'S
GENTLE REGULATION
The best way to prevent colic,
doctors say, is to avoid gas in stomach
and bowels by keeping the entire
intestinal tract open, free from waste.
But remember this: a tiny baby s
tender little organs cannot stand
harsh treatment. They must be
gently urged. This is just the time
Castoria can help most. Castoria,
you know, is made specially for babies
and children. It is a pure vegetable
preparation, perfectly harmless. It
contains no harsh drugs, no narcotics.
For years it has helped mothers
through trying times with colicky
babies and children suffering with
digestive upsets, colds fever.
Keep genuine Castoria on hand* with
the name:
