- Twain’s Petri Indian., The days.when Sam Clemens stuck type on the Hannibal Union are re- called by this anecdote: One morn- fng Sam came into the office very thoughtful, hung up his coat and went to his frame. He worked urgently for several hours without any copy on case in front of him. He was set- ing up the story of a wonderful find he and some of his comrades made in McDougal’'s cave the Sunday before. ‘The narrative was to the effect that a crowd of boys, while exploring the great cave on Sunday afternoon, had run aeross a petrified Indian. The itizens were greatly worked up over he story., and they hired a scientist from Quincy to look the dead Indian in the face and report. The man who came to perform the task wore gray muttonchop whiskers, a thought- ful brow, and spectacles, of course. He was an unemotional chap, but he looked learned. and the committee was satisfied of his ability. By the terms of his contract, he was to 'write a complete report, detailing every possible feature of the discovery for historical preservation. The investi- gator returned at nightfall, covered with clay, with clothing torn and skin barked in countless places by falls of rock. He sought out the chairman of the committee that empleyed him and silently delivered to him the follow- ing statement: “Mileage in looking for dead Indian, $20: reading story about dead Indian, $5; bruised shins on the way to dead Indian. $10. Re- port: There was no dead Indian.”— Macon (Mo.) Republican. SAVED - FROM AN OPERATION ByLydiaE. Pinkhalil’s Vegetable Compound Louisville, Ky.— “Lydia E.

GENUINE CASTORIA Bears the Signature of Dr. W. L. Leister, of Rogers, Ark., says : ‘“ As a practicing phy- sician I use Castoria and like it very much.” Dr. W. T. Seeley, of Amity, N Y.,says: “I have used sour Cas- toria- for several sears in my practice and kave found it a safe and -eliabie remedy.” Or. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa Ynez, Cal., says : “‘ After using your Castoria for children for years it annoys me greatly to have an ignorant druggist substitute some- thing else, especially to the pa- tient’s disadvantage, as in this case. 1 enclose herewith the wrapper of the imitation.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says : ““Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepa- rations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice be- cause I have found it to be a thor- oughly reliable remedy for chil- dren’s complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom- mendation of Castoria.” Dr. W. F. Wallace, of Bradford, N. H., says: “ I use your Castoria in my practice, and in my family.” Or. Wm. I. McCann of Omaha, Neb., says : ‘* As the father of thir- teen children I certainly know something about your great medi- cine and aside from my own family experience, 1 have, in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular and efficient vemedy in almost every home.” Dr. Howard James, of New York, City, says : *“ It is with great pleas- ure that I desire to testify to the medicinal virtue of your Castoria. T have used it with marked benefit in the case of my own daughter, and have obtained excellent results from its administration to other children in my practice.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- phia, Pa., says : ‘“The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy.” 5 Letters from Prominent Physicians Addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chica- go, 111, says : “I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants auring my practice and find it very satisfactory.” Dr. William Belmont, of Cleve- land, Ohio, says : * Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place.” Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says : I prescribe your Cas- toria extensively as 1 have never found anything to equal it for chil- dren’s troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher’s.” Dr. Channing H. Cook, of Saint Louis, Mo., says: “I have used your Castoria for several years past inmy own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is & great consideration in view of the fact that most medi- cines of this character are obnox- ious and therefore difficult of ad- ministration. As a laxative I consider it the peer of anything rhat I ever prescribed.” P Dr. L. O. Morgan, of flo. Amboy, N. J. says: “‘I prescribe your Casto~ ria every day for children who are suffering from constipation, with better effect than I receive from any other combination of drugs.” Dr. H. J. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: “I have used your Casto- ria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and priv- ate practice for many years, The formula is excellent.” Dr. W, L. Bosserman, of Buf- falo, N. Y., says: “I am pleased to speak a good word for your Casto- ria. I think so highly of it that I not only recommend it to others, but have used it in my own family.” Dr. ¥. H, Kyle, of St. Paul, Minn., says : “It affords 122 plea- sure to add my name to the long list of those who have used and now endorse your Castoria. The fact of the ingredients being known through the printing of the formula on the wrapper is one good and sufficient reason for the recom- mendation of any physician. I know of its good qualities and re- commend it cheerfully.” ASK YOUR HYSICIAN
