The Effects of Opiates. HAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its various preparations, all of which aré narcotic, is well known. Even in the smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the func- tions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, causing imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life. Wervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet in their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should never receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrups and other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot be too strongl( decried, and the druggist should not be a party to it. Children who areill need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to Jose them willfully with narcotics. Castoria ggnmllis x‘nlo narcotics if it bears the signature of Chas.

A mother in the home, or a man or woman at busi- ness, with nerves undone and the system generally feeling the strain, should find wonderful help in SCOTT'S EMULSION Powerful sedatives or strong medicines are habit- forming and dangerous. The logical help is a form of nourishment abundant in tonic properties. Scott’s brings strength to the body, through nourish- ment that is felt in every part. If inclined to be nervous, the logical answer is—Scott’s Emulsion. 8coit & Bowne, Lloomfield, ¥, j.
