Evarts, of Senta Ynez, Cal., says : *“ After using your Castoria for children fonyears 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 wnpper o{ the imitation.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says : * Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepa- rations, but in the case of Castoris 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 bas raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom- mendation of Castoria.” Dr. W. F. Wallace, of Brudford, N.

McCann or 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, I have, in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy 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. I bave used it with marked benefit in the case of my own daughter’, and have obtained excellent resul s from its administration to oth r children in my practice.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- phia, Pa., says : ‘The name that your Castoria has made for iteelf in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs'to be supplemented by the endorsement of thé medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy.” Letters from Prominent Physicians Addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chica- g0, IlL, says : “I have prescribed your Castori# 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 I 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 in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objested to by children, which is a great consideration in view of the fact that most medi- oines of this character are obnox- ious and therefore difficult of ad- ministration. As a laxative I consider it the peer of anything shat I ever prescribed.” P - sure to add my name to the long Dr. L. O. Morgaa, of So. Amboy, N.
