MOTHERS now
learn value
of MAGNESIA
Because it is so
helpful in keeping
babies and children
healthy and happy,
every mother should
know about Phillips
sMilk of Magnesia.
This harmless, al
—- - ■’most tasteless prepa
ration is most effective in relieving
those symptoms of babies and chil
dren generally caused by souring
food in the little digestive tract,
such as sour-belching, frequent
vomiting, feverishness, colic. As a
mild laxative, it acts gently, but
certainly, to open the little boy els
in constipation, colds, children’s
diseases.
A teaspocnful of Phillips Milk of
Magnesia does the work of half a
pint, of lime water in neutralizing
cow's milk for infant feeding, and
preventing hard curds. Its many
uses for mother and child are fully
explained in the interesting book
“Useful Information.” It will be

often infants. Whenever there’s pain, think of Aspirin. The
