Children delight in these lively little gold fish, the goldest we could find any
where. They ate fascinating to grownups, too, and the clear crystal of the
aquarium reflecting the golden flashes of alert, busy little Inhabitant! add an
ornamental touch to the home. 1 '
We couldn't think of a more acceptable gift with which to introduce this very
mild and pleasant laxative. And a laxative of this kind is very important
at this particular time. Lac-Lax are mild and harmless, nothing habit-forming
about them. Crown folks like them and children really delight in takinf
them, for they are just like little mint lozenges.
