CaStOria.

1t is a mistake to suppose that Castora is not
adapted to grown persons well 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, Teethin= and Group, that it is especially
recommended 10 them.
Its effects are more certain than CASTOR OIL /;
contains no alcohol and is as pleasant 60 take as
honey. 1t never gripes. By regulating the stomach
and bowels the CastOra cools the blood, expels
worms and prevent ieverishness, 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 tried it, and it is having rapidly
increasing sale. 1t is prepared with great care after
the receipt Of DIR. Samuel Pitcher, of Mass. at the

ID. f. BOYDEN, of Waitsfeld, says that
the most successful mode of destroying the
early potato beetles, soon after they come
out of the ground, is to place potato par
ings or small potatoes near where potatoes
were planted last year, and near where pc
tatoes are to be planted this year, and dust
them with Paris Green. The beetles that
would, few days later, lay large number
of eggs. will readily find them. and will be
destroyed. BY slightly bruising the pota-
toes every day or two, the beetles will be
more readily attracted.
