THERE IS NO DOUBT 
That thousands of children die from deficient or 
improper nourishment, and mothers and nurses 
should see to it that the infant constitution is 
built up and strengthened by proper food before 
the trying 
SUMMER MONTHS 
come, which are the most dangerous to infant 
life. Eor this emergency 
has the endorsement, of the Matrons and Physi¬ 
cians of the principal Infant Asylums and Lying- 
in Hospitals in the United States, and Physicians 
of all schools have given it their unqualified ap¬ 
proval as a HIGHLY NUTRITIOUS and easily 
assimilated food, and especially adapted for in¬ 
fants ancl growing children. 
is also specially adapted to adults suffering from 
weakness of the digestive organs, and therefore 
those afflicted with any symptoms of INDIGES¬ 
TION will find, on trial, it has all the qualities 
that have been claimed for it, and all that they 
can desire in the way of nutrition and strength.

regulate these viscera with Tarrant’s Effer¬ 
vescent Seltzer Aperient, and the languor, 
depression, and nervous debility which are inevi¬ 
table results of indigestion, biliousness, and an 
irregular habit of body, will cease. The Aperient 
contains all chemical basis of the famous Seltzer 
Spring, is quite as delicious, and equally refreshing.
