During the summer months a rash often appears on the face, neck and body of babies and small children which is liable to alarm the careful mother. It is due to the excessive heat, and, while not dangerous, is the cause of much suiiering. Immedâ€" iate relief is given by dusting the eruption liberally with Baby’s Own P’owder, which may be had at any drug‘gist’s, but to cure the trouble a ,medicine must be given that will cool the blood of the little srufl‘erer. Baby’s Own Tablets will be found a, ‘positive blessing in such cases and will soon restore the clearness and beauty of baby's skin. Mrs. Clifton Cuyler, of Kincardine, Ont, says: “My baby had a rash break out on her face and all over her body. 'I gave her medicine, but the eruption never left her until I gene her Baby's Own Tablets, and after us- ing them a short time the rash en- tirely disappeared. I have also giv- en her the Tablets for Constipation with the best of results: they act gently but promptly, and always make baby quiet and restful. I think the Tablets a splendid medicine for young children.” Baby’s Own Tab- lets may be had from all druggists Own Pow'der at the same price.
