GUARD THE CHILDREN'S CHESTS.

» A Famous Doctor's Message to Mothers. Dr Gordon Stables, the famous English Medical author, pens a timely warning about the ailments that affect children's chests, which should be taken to heart in every Australasian home. The doctor says:— "Do you know that you are criminally negligent if you neglect the very first symptoms of a cold settling on your child's chest? '' Do you know tint in Peps—if a box is kept handy—you have an ever-pre-sent remedy of a most pleasant character, but certain an 9 sure in its good effects? "Don't neglect a cold then. Don't neglect a cough, for, be what it may, as light as it may, there is always a serious side to it. "Keep cool, mother, but do your duty. Don't hurry off to the chemist's shop for common lozenges and mixtures of peppermint and laudanum, or other dangerous drugs that may mean death to your boy. Just keep the boy in the house a bit, and give.him Peps." A box of Peps in the home at this time of the year may save you pounds in doctor's bills, as well as long periods of anxiety, if these wonderful tablets are used as soon as your child's sleep is disturbed by a coign. Peps contain no opium or other harmful drugs, and can be given to a child, either wholly or crushed to a powder, with the assurance of absolute benefit. Get Peps from your nearest store or medicine vendor: 1/6 or 3/- a box. Head Australasian Depot, 39 Pitt Street, Sydney. .2
