Too much caro cannot be used with small childi cn during the hot weather of tho summer months to guard agaiuBt bowel troubles. As a rule it is ouly necessary to give tho child a dose of castor oil to correct any disordor of tho bowels. Do not use any substitute, but i givo tho old-fashioned castor oil, aud see that it is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates aud has a tendency to gripe. If this does uot check tho bowels give Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoie Remedy and thou a dose of castor oil, and the disease may he checked in its incipiency and all danger avoided. The cast.II- oil and this remedy should be pro cured at once and kept ready for instant use as soon as tho first indication of any bowel trou 1)1* appears. This is the most successful tre.tt iront known and may be relied upon with implicit confidence oven in oases of oho ern infantum. For sale by J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J.
