The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the resuit of three facts: F\»sé—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the foed: Third—It is an agreeable and pestect substitute for Castor Oil, It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other nairootic and does not stupefy. It is unike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal 40 say. Our duty, however, is to expece danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through gre or jgnorance 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.—Zall's Journal of Healtk. e ~ Letters from Prominent Physicians Addressed te Chas.
