The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: peefect substitute for Castor Oil, unMike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s Cordial, etc. It is absolutely safe. It is .used by physicians Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. It is Our duty, however, is to expese 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 Healtl.

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 your Cas- toria for several sears iz my practice and have found it a safe and reliable 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. I enclose herewith the wrayper of the imitation.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says : *‘ Physicians generaiiy do uot 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 Brudford, N. H., says: “I use your Castoria in my practice, and in my family.” Or. Wm, 1. 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 aimost 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 have ased it with marked benefit in the case of my own daughter, and have obtained excellent resul s frum 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 itself in the ‘ens 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. B. Halstead Scott, of Chica- go, 111, says : “I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice and find i very satisfactory.” Dr. William Belmont, of Cleve- land, Ohio, says : *“ Your Castoria stands first in its ciass. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have faund anything thatso 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, fam 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 & great consideration in view of the fact that most medi- cines of this character are obnox- jous and therefere difficult of ad- ministration. As a laxative I consider it the peer of anything shat I ever prescribed.” Dr. L. O. Morgan, of So. Amboy, N. J. says: ‘I prescribe your Casto- ria every-day for children who are suffering from constipation, with bet#er 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 fovud it an excellent remedy in my househeld and priv- ate practice for Fuy years. The formula is excellent. Dr. Wm. L. Bo-«mnan of Buf- falo, N. Y., says: “I am pleased to -penkagoodv{wd(qym(}ufio— ria. I think so highly of it that I ‘not only recommend it to others, but have used it in my own family.” Dr. F. H. Kyle, of St. Paul, Minn., says : “It affords me plea- sure to add my name to the long list of those who have used and now endorse your Ca-toria. The factof the ingredients being known through the printing of the formula on the wrapper is one good and mendation of any physician. I know of its good qualities and re- : eoznmgg it cheerfully.”
