CHECK FOR $100,000 Sent to City of Bridgeport by County Commissioners. The check sent by the county com- missioners Wednesday to the city of Brldg:con for the licenses issued dur- ing ember just .passed is larger than the two checks receivéd by the city during January, 1908 and 1909. This is accounted for by the fact that all _applicants have paid their fees, says The Farmer. In all, the commisisoners collected $120,704 in Bridgeport, of which they retained $12,070.40 for the county, and MUST REGISTER. Milk Dealers in Ansonia Warned by Health Officer.

Why Physicians Recommend Castoria ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicia with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To \our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are ‘entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Healtk. : Letters from Prominent Physicians Addressed to Chas.

In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place.” Dr. R. J.

I am aware that there are imitationsin 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 in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a 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 chat I ever prescribed.” 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, K. Y., says: ‘““I have used your Cas- toria for several jyears in my practice and have found it a safe and =eliable remedy.” Or. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa Ynez, Cal, says: “‘After using your Castoris 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. I enclose herewith the wrapper of the imitation.” r. 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.

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.” Dr. Wm.
