HERE'S A WAY TO SAVE DOCTOR

Physicians Give Free Advice by
Which Parents May Profit.

1t was an association Of gentlemen,
professionally physicians and chem
lists. all of whom were born in the
drug trade, so to speak, and who have.
been connected with it all their lives,
who first gave to the world Castoria,
which as every one knows is a pleas
ant and. effective remedy for the all
ments of infants and children. 1T has
always been recognized as a meritori-
Gus preparation, and it's reward has
been the greatest popularity ever en-,
2joyed by any remedy ever put upon
the market, attained not by fans:
boyant advertising or appeals to, ig,-
norance or vulgar prejudice. but by
an Inherent merit All physicians
prescribe it. 81
!. Many parents gall in the family
physician. Many other parents take
advantage ofswhat the physician told
them whenal1e was first called in CON
sultation. All good family physicians
say: "Give the gchildren Castoria."
Healthy parents know this remedy Of
old. for they took it themselves as
children, zsIt was more than thirty
years ago that Castoria made a place
for itself in the household. 1t bore
the signature of Charles II. Fletcher
then, as it does to-day. The signature
is its guarantee, which is accepted in

masterpiece of its Kind. After men
tioning the various, writers of minor
Importance who flourished in Connecti-
cut following Twins time, he spoke at
some length of Oliver Wendall Holmes
and James Russell lowell and of the
power they exerted and the reforms
they accomplished through their hu-
morous and sometimes satirical writ
ings. He then spoke of Artemas Ward,
Petroleum V. Nashby and of their in
tluence and of Bill Nye, whom he said,
wrote muca that is even now forgotten.
Judge Hall brought his talk down to
the present-Gay fun makers and had a
good word to say of Mr. Dooley, whom,
he thinks, sometimes suggests Artemus
Ward
1t is impossible to give an adequate
idea Of the charm Of Judge Halls style,
of the boollish flavor which was so
prominent throughout his paper. OF
all the papers that have been presented

most enjoyable and the members of the

JUDGE HALL IN BANGOR.
Pleasant Words for His Paper Before a
Club in That City.

Hon. Oliver G. Hall of Augusta. judge
of the Superior court of Kennebec
county, was in Bangor Thursday night
when he read II paper on THE Achieve
nents of Hunor' before The De
Burians who held their regular meeting
at the home Of Charles EcBliss on Ce-
dar street. Judge Halls paper was one
OF the most delightful of all the literary
treats which. have been enjoyed by the
club and called forth the enthusiastic
praise of all his hearers.
In his opening Judge Hall spoke of
the keen appreciation which Richard
De Bury had for huHor and how the
great bookman enjoyed witty conn
panions. In the course of his paper.
which showed throughout that Judge
Hall possesses in no slight degree that
subtle wit Of which he told. he analyzed
the writings of the hulnorists from
Shakespeare and his predecessors down
TO the present day
Judge Hall said that while we Ameri-
cans are of the opinion that the Eng
lishman is slow to catch the point of Il
witty speech or saying. we. as a nation,
have had few humorists who are
worthy of being mentioned, with
Charles Lamb, Jerrold. Thackeray and
Dickens In his analysis of the writ
ings of the masters of wit, Judge Hall
was intensely interesting and showed
that hInnor was most sparkling and
piauant when it was serving as a cor
rective of foibles of the time or holding
up to laughter the whims and follies OF
the day.
In treating of American humorists he
spoke of Washington Irving as being
the first and ne said that the Knicker-
booker History of New York was a
