There are, upon the skin of every hu
man being, child aud adult alike, 2,3o0,
600 pores. Through these pores, in the
form of insensible perspiration, is ex-
PEELED more than one-quarter of the nourish-
ment taken into the system. The Importance
of keeping open these perspira,on valves
upon a chld's body is second only to that of
properly digestng the food eaten. Ii wss to
open the pores of the skin and TO assimilate
the food that DR.. Pitcher formulated Casio
ria. Loose bowels constipation fevers and
eruptions which are constant among in
fants and children, and which kill one-third
of all children before they are FIVE years old.
arise principally from these two causes. 1t is
from the wonderful results attendant upon
the use of Castoria in regulating the stomach
and bowels and keeping open the pores of
the skin that Castoria acquired its worldwide
reputation. With plenty of water for the
body, pure air for the lungs and Castora to
assimilate the. food, there need be no unac-
counted for sickness among children. Cas-
toria is vegetable prescription without NOR
phine or other narcotic property. Thirty
years extensive use has given il history
never attained by another medicine.
