Physicians Recommend Castoria
OASTOEIA 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 tho nerves, but assimi
lates the foods 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. 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. EalPs Journal of Uealtlu
Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. II. Fletcher.
Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., Bays: "I have prescribed your .
Castoria often for Infants during my practice, and find 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 never have
found anything that so filled the place."
Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and
found It an excellent remedy In my household and private practice for
many years. The formula Is excellent,"
Dr. It. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I have never found anything to equal It for children's
troubles. I am aware that there are imitations In the field, but I always
see that my patients get Fletcher's."
Dr. Wm. J. McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside
from my own family experience I have In my years of practice found Cas
toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home."
Dr. J. R. Clausen, cf Philadelphia, Pa., Bays: "The name that your Caa
tcria has made for Itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the
presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse
ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse It and
believe It an excellent remedy." '
Dr. It. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not
prescribe proprietary preparations, but In the case of Castoria my experi
ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex
ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it
to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physi
cian who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom
mendation of Castoria."

SKIN DISEASES'
HUMORS IN THE BLOOD
When the blood is pure, fresh and healthy, the skin will be soft, Bmooth 1
and free from bkmislic3, but when Bomc acid humor takes root lit the circu
lation its prescne is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These
humors get into the blood, generally because of nn inactive or sluggish
condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect nnd carry
off the waste and refuse matterof thesyntem. This unhealthy matter is left
to pour nnd ferment and soou the circulation becomes charged with, the ncid
poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and ncids through the
pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis,
Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually
with a slight redness of the shin followed by pui tules from which there
flows a sticky fluid that dric3 and forms a crust, and the itching is intense.
It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and les; though other parts
of the body may be nfleclod. ' In Tetter the skin dries, cracks nnd bleeds;
the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended
to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverinh condition and riving it a
hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on t'.ie lace in the
