NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1918, Save the Babies VFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, 1ie before they reach one year; thirty-seven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save many sf these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile leaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and sooth- ng syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. [hey are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. Inany quantity, they stupify, tard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. There can be no danger n the use of Castoria if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher as it contains no )piates or narcotics of any kind. ‘Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. A. F. Peeler, of St. Louis, Mo., says: “I have prescribed your Castoria in many cases and have always found it an eflicient and speedy remedy.” Dr. Frederick D. Rogers, of Chicago, Ill., says: I have found Fletcher’s Castoria very useful in the treatment of children’s complaints. Dr. William C. Bloomer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: In my practice I am glad to recommend your Castoria, knowing it is perfectly harmless and always satisfactory. Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “I have prescribed your Cas- toria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and benefit to my patients.” Dr. Gustave A. Eisengraeber, of St. Paul, Minn. says: “I have used your Castoria repeatedly in my practice with good results, and can recome mend it as an excellent, mild and harmless remedy for children.” Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: “Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children.” Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: “Your Castoria is an ideat medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advo- cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children.” Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: “Your Castoria holds thae esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprie- tary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and chil- dren. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments.” Dr. I F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: “Castoria is one of the rery finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as ta its efficiency and merits.” FacSimile Siénmurt“ GENUINE CASTO R IA ALWAYS T Bears the Signature of Ebeien ol ROy e Tare GENTAUR GONPANY.

She had written and had ’'phoned me frequently asking me to come over to the camp, but I had never been able to make the oppor- But now—I wasted no time in getting her on the tclephone, and casually asking her if T might come to the camp upon the next Wednesday. | “Of course,” she agrced cordially. “And you're in luck.
