Physicians Recommend Castoria
ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, phanna-
^ ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
resalts most gratifying« The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the
result of three foots:. a m —The indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
$•««*/—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi
lates the food: TUr4 —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. l i e 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 onr readers are entitled to
the information.— Hall*» Journal of Health*
