ments by DR.. Samuel Pitcher OF Massachusetts
1t Is vegetable preparation effective as Castor
Oil, but perfectly pleasant to the taste. II can be
taken by the youngest infant, and neither gags or
gripes Dir. A. J. Green, of Royston, Ind, says
Of it.:
SIRs II have tried the Castoria and can speak
highly Of its merits. 1t will, think. do away en-
tirely with Castor Oil. II is pleasant and harmless
and is wonderfully ctiicacious % an aperient and
laxative 1t is the very thing.
The Castoria destroys worms, regulates the
Stomach. cures Wind Colo and permits natural
healthy sleep. 1t is very efticacious In Group and
for Teething Children. Honey ia not pleasantsr

effects. It costs but IS cents in large bottles.

Corn Sugar.

There are several factories in the
United States Tor making sugar out
OF corn. One at Davenport, one at
Freeport, Ill.,, and one at Buffalo, n.
Y, etc. One bushel OF corn will
make so to IS pounds of glucose OF
starch sugar. One pound OF starch
will make pound of sugar. Be,
corn sugar is not equal to cane sugar,
but it is largely used, and is the bes,
article for adultera;lns cane or bee,
sugar. 1t is also used largely in the
preparation and manufacturing OF
the best French wines out of Missou
ri and California wines. The manu-
t;,cture of sugar or glucose from
corn is said to take extensive machin.
cry and large capital, but when once
fairly in operation yields. large
profits. In the progress of science
we have no doubt the purest and hes,
sugar will be produced from corn
and especially so when we are in
formed that there is really forty
pounds Of sweetening in bushel.
