Why Physicians Recommend Castoria ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor en the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical aushorities. It is used by physi- cians with resuits mest The exteaded use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: Férsé—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Secomd—That & not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—Itis an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil It is absolutely safe. It does not com- tain 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 peisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knewl- edge, 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.—Halls Journal of Health.

GENUINE CASTORIA Bears the Signature of Dr. W. L. Leister, of Regers, Ark., says : As a practicing phy- sician I wse Castosia amd like it very much.” Dr. W. T. Seeley, of Amity, N. Y., says: ‘4 have used your Cas- toria for several years in my practice sad have found i a safe and reliable remedy.” Dr. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa Yaes, Cal., says : “Affer using your Castoria for ehildvenfor years it annoys me gwestly to have an ignorant druggist substitusesome- thing else, especially to the pa- tient's disadvantage, as in this case. I enclose herewith the wrapper of the imitation.* Dr. R. M. Werd, of Kansas City, Mo., says : ‘‘ Physicians generally do net 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.” N. H, says: “I use your Casteria in my practice, and in my family.” Dr. Wm. 1. MoGann of Omsaha, Neb., saye : ‘* As the father of thir- teen children I cestainly kmow something about your great medi- eine andaside from my own family experiengg, I have, in my years of practice, found Casteria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. Bowerd James, of New York, City, says : “ It is with great pleas- ure that I desire to testify to the medicinal virtae of your Castoria. 1 have used it with marked benefit in the case of my own daughter, and have obtained excellent results from its administmetion to other children in my preetice.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- phia, Pa., says : *“ The name that your Castoria has made for itseif 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 beliewe it an exocellent remedy,” Dr. B. Halstead Soott, of Chica- go, IiL,, says : “‘1 have presosibed your OCestoria often for insants during wmy practice and find if very satisfactory.” Dr. William Belmout, of Cleve- land, Ohio, says : “ Your Castoria stands flest in its class. In my thirsy years of practice I can say 1 never bave found anything that so filled the place.” Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says : I prescribe your Cas- toria extemsively as I have never found anything to equal it for chil- dren’s troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, bus 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 thoreughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a great comsideration 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 that I ever preseribed.” ® Dr. L. O. Morgan, of So. Amboy, N.J. says: ‘‘Fprescribe your Casto- ria every day for children who are suffering from constipation, with better effect than I receive from any other combination of druge.” Dr. H. J. Taft, of Brookiyn, N. Y., says: ‘I have wsed your Casto- ria and found it an exvellent remedy in my househeld and priv- ate practice for many years. The formnula is excellent.” Dr. Wm. L. Bosserman, of Buf- falo, N. Y., says: *‘I am pleased to speak a good word for yeur Casto- ria. I think so highly of it that I mot enly recommend it to others, but have used it in say own family.” Dr. ¥. H. Kyle, of St. Paul, Minn., says: ““ It affords me plea- sure to add my name to the leng list of those who have wsed and now endorse your Castoria. The fact of the ingredieats being kmown through the printing of the formuia on the wrapper is one geed amd sufficient reason for the resem- mendation of any physician. I know of its good qualities and re- commend it cheerfully.” ASK YOUR PHYSICIAN t
