Even in the emallest 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 wers 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 strongly decried, and the druggist should not be a party to it. Children who areiil need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to Jose them willfully with narcotics. Castoria contains no narcotics if it bears the signature of Chas. H.
