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.
