Physicians Recommend Castoria
IASTOEIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma-
ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably tho
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 assimi
lates 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, how
ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. Tne 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. Kali's Journal of Health, '

Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher.
Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ilia., says: "I have prescribed your
Castoria often for infants during my practice, and End it very satisfactory."
Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands
first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I nover havo
found anything that so filled tho place."
Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I havo used your Castoria and
found It an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for
many yeare. Tho formula is excellent."
Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I havo never found anything to equal It for children's
troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always
ceo that my patients get Fletcher's."
Dr.Wm. J MoCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "Aa tho father of thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and asido
from my own family experience I have In my years of practlco found Caa
torla a popular and efficient remedy In almost every home."
Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "Tho name that your Cas
toria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by tho
presence of children, scarcely needs to bo supplemented by ths endorse
ment of tho medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and
believe It an excellent remedy."
Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not
prescribe proprietary preparations, but in tho case of Castoria my experi
ence, llko that of many other physicians, has taught me to mako an ex
ception. I prescribe your Castoria In my practice because I have found It
to bo a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physi
cian who has raised a family, as I hare, will Join mo In heartiest recom
mendation of Castoria."
