and correct all these things. For twenty years Dr.
Pitcher experimental in his private practice to pro-
duce an effective Cathartic and stomach regulator
which would be as effective as Castor Oil, without
its unpleasant taste or recoil.
The reputation of his experiment extended. Ply
sicians and nurses rapidly adopted his remedy, to
which he gave the name of CastOria.
CastOria is as pleasant to take honey, regu-

absolutely harmless to the most tender infant.
