"Castoria is the best remedy for children Of
which am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead Of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their threats, thereby sending
them to premature graves"
