NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1918, News For Women Readers — —— == A Great Responsibility THE responsibility attached to the preparing of a remedy for infants and children is undoubtedly greater than that imposed upon the manufacturer of remedies for adults whose system is sufficiently strong to counteract, for a time at least, any injurious drug. It is well to observe that Castoria is prepared today, as it has been for the past 40 years, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher. What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake? What are their responsibilities ? To whom are they answerable? They spring up today, scatter their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow. | Could each mother see the painstaking care with which the prescription for Fletcher’s Castoria is prepared : could they read the innumerable testimonials from grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments of those who would offer an imitation of, or substitute for, the tried and true [Fletcher's Castoria. jg==i—> Children Cr HOL -3 PER CENT. onforAs- ;ofiné Digestio ‘ Cheerfulness and RestGo e 0T NARGOTIC!
