A. I'atlietic Story.
Burlington", la., Dec 10. Phys
sicians ana parents naye oeen
brought face to face with the neces
sity of makibg a strange choice in
thia city. Two little sisters were
sick with dipntheria. The Chicago
and St.' Louis boards of health were
appealed to but anti-toxine for only
one little sufferer could be obtained.
This meant life for one child and
death for the other. Tne relatives
shrank from the choic? and the
physicians made application of the
remedy to the child most critically
ill. It lives. The otber is dead.

good effect upon their children."

Castoria is the best remedy for children of
Which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the
real interest of their children, and use Castoria
instead of the various quack nostrums which
are destroying- their loved ones, by forcing
opium,' morphine, soothing syrup and other
hurtful agents down' their throats, thereby
fending them to premature graves." ,

medical supplies what is known as regular
products, yet we are free to confes3 that the
merits of Castoria has won us to look with
favor upon it."
