Winter brings out thelr fundamental strength ro leeg than the beauty of their forms.

The ailments of childhood are many but nine-tenths of them are due to one cause and one cause only--a dis- ordered condition of the stomach and bowels. To quickly banish any of the minor ailments of babyhood and child. hood the bowels must be made to work regular and the stomach must be | sweetened. No other medicine for little ones has had such success as has Baby's Own Tablets. 'They banish constipation and Indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers; correct diarrhoea and colic and promote healthful sleep by regulating the functions of the etom- ach and bowels. Concerning them Mrs. L. M. Brown, Walton, N.S. writes: --*"I cannot speak too highly of Baby's Own Tablets as I have found them excellent for childhood ail- ments." Babyis. Own.
