The question now was, what had produced this

ELECTRO SILICON. Ny next step was to discov-

CaStOria.

1t is mistake to suppose that Castoria is not
adapted to grown persons we'll as children. They
only need to increase the quantity. But children
have SO many complaints for which Castora is
adapted-like WIND collie, sour stomach, worms,
letter, Teething and Group, that it is especially
recommended to them.
Its effects are more certain than CASTOR OIL. II
contains no alcohol and is as pleasant to take as
honey. 1t never gripes. By regulating the stomach
and bowels the Castoria cools the blood, expels
worms and prevent feverishness, quiets the nerves
and produces health-then Of course the children
can sleep in quiet and MOTHERS can REST.
Castoria is recommended by all physicians and
nurses who have triod it, and it is having rapidly
