When babies are restless, cross or peevish it is the surest possible sign of iNness. Well babies sleep soundly and are cheerful and playful when awake. When baby is cross too many mothers give called "soothing" medicines, which contain opiates that deuden but do not remove the trouble. What is wanted is a medii- cine that will go right to the root of the trouble and make baby sleep well, eat well, and be ---- in a natural way. Suc ine is Baby's Own Tablets, which are sold under an absolute guarantee that they contain neither opiates. nor other harmful drugs. All mothers who them for little ones speak of them in terms of warmest praise. Mrs. Albert Young, Stratford, says: "My baby, who is now five months old, has always been very cross and peevish. She was very constipated and sleepicss. She was a thin, delicate looking child and cried nearly ah the time: I did not know what to do with her. I tried several medicines but they did her no good. A friend who bad used Baby's Own Tablets advised me to try them.I did so, and since using them haby has been quite well, her bowels are regular and she has grown plump a good natured. I am delighted with the Tablets and keep them on hand all the time, and whenever baby gets cross and fey- pepe I give her a tablet and she is all These.
