A Warning To Mothers.
Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the.hot weather
of the summer months to guard
against bowel troubles. As a rule it
is only necessary to give the child a
dose of castor' oil to correct any dis-
order of the bowels. Do not use any
substitute but give the old-fashioned
castor oil and see that it is fresh, as
rancid oil nauseates and has a tenden-
cy to gt ipe. If this does not check
the bowels give Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy and
then a dose of castor oil, and the dis-
ease may be checked in its incipiency
and all danger avoided. The castor
oil and this .reinedy should be pro-
cured at once and kept ready for in-
stant use as soon as the first indication
of any bowel. trouble appears. This
is the most successful treatment
known and may be relied upon with
implicit confidence even in eases of
chclera infantunr. For sale by all
druggists.
