BABY'S WELFARE
The welfare of the baby is the fond
mother's greatest aim. No mother
wants to see her little ones suffering
from colds, constipation, colic, or,, any
other of the many ills that so 4often

have learned that by giving ccasion-
al dose of Baby's Own Tab s to their
children they can kee them well.
Concerning the Tablet ' Mrs. Richard
Boston, Pembroke, t., says: -Baby's
Own Tablets sage y little girl when
nothing else apy ared to help her. I
would not attempt to raise a baby with-
out keeping the Tablets in the house."

mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,

sheep and lambs has not lingered be-
hind, new record prices for this
market having been reached during
