" Castorla Is an excellent medicine for chil dren. Mothers have repeatedly told c: of its good effect upon tbeir children.' Dr. G. C. Osgood, Lowell, Mass. ' Castorla 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 sending them to premature graves."
