At letter was read from a Dont Make aToy By RUTH BR'TYMN Much of the nervousness in older children can be traced to the over- #timulation during infancy, causad iy regarding baby as a sort of ani- mated toy for the amusement of parents, relatives and friends. Baby may he played with, but not for more than a quarter of an hour to an hour daily. Beyond that, heing ‘handled, tickled. caused to laugh or even scream, will sometimes resuit in vomiting, and invariably causes srritability, crying or sleeplessness. Fretfulness. cryving and sleepless. ness from this cause can easily be mavoided by treating baby with more consideration, but when you just can't see what is making baby rest- Jess or upset, better give him a few drops of purc. harmless Castoria. It's amazing to see how quickly it «alms baby’s nerves and soothes him to sleep; vet it contains no drugs or opiates. 1t is purely vegetable—the recipe is on the wrapper. Leading physicians prescribe it for cholera, diarrhea. constipation, gas on stomach and bowels, feverishness, loss of sleep and all other “upsets™ of babyhood. Over 25 million bot- tles used a yvear shows its over- whelming popularity. With each bottle of Castoria. you get a book on Motherhood. worth its weight in gold. Look for Chas.
