Here's A Way To Save
 Doctor Bills.
Chysicians Give Free Advice By Which
 Parents May Profit.

It was an association of gentlemen, professionally physicians and chemists,
 all of whom were born in the drug trade, so to speak, and who have been
 connected with 1t all their lives. wh, first gave to the world Castoria, which as every one knows is a pleasant and effective remedy for the ailments of infants and children. It has always been recognized as a meritorious prep aration. and it's reward has bscn the greatest popularity ever enjoyed by any remedy ever put upon the mar ket; attained. not by flamboyanr ad- vertising or appeals to ignorance or vulgar prejudice, but by inherent mer- 1t. All physicians recommend 1t, and many, very many, prescribe it.
 Many parents call in the family physician. Many other parents take advantage of what the physician e,ld them when he was first called in con- .sultation: Give the children Casto- ria" Healthy parents know this rom edy of old, for they took 1t themselves as children. It was more than thirty years ago that Castoria made q place for itself in the household. It bore the signature of Charles H. Fletcher is it's guarantee, which is accepted in thousands of homes where there are children.
 Much is printed nowadays about big families. Dr. William ]. McCrann, of
 Omaha. Neb.. is the father of one of | these much-read-about families. Here is what he says:
 'As the father of thirteen children certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have. in my years of practice, found Castoria a pop
 ular and efficient remedy in almost every home"
 Charles II. Fletcher has received hundreds of letters from prominent | physicians who have the same esteem | for Castoria that Dr. McCrann has. Not only do these physicians say they
 use Castoria in their own families. but | they prescribe 1t for their patients First of all 1t Is a vegetable prepara- | tion which assimilates the food and 1 regulates the stomach and bowels. tf- l ter eating comes sleeping, and Cas- | toria looks out for that, too. It al1ays feverishness and prevents loss of sleep, | and this absolutely without the use
 of opium, morphine or other bar eful
 narcotic.
 Medical journals are reluctant to discuss proprietary medicines. Halls
 Journal of Health. however says 1 Our duty Is to expose danger and re- cord the means for advancing health. Tn eday for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end, To our knowledge Castoria is a I remedy which produces composure and | health by regulating the system, not l by stupefying it, and our readers are | entitled to the information" adv.

In Railroad Circles.

A we'll informed rumor was related to The Advertiser this morning by a per son who is in position to know. to ef- feet that the Southern Railway Com- pany, in line with the already-es- abolished policy to improve its Mobile terminal. has another large project on foot. The rumor is to effect that the company will secure tho old passenger depot of the Mobile and Ohio railroad, at tho head of Royal street and in the adjoining block to the site of the new passenger station. and make of it a first-class freight depot. The building is about 400 feet long aand, despite the fact that the structure was erected back in the eighties. the walls are considered among the best masonry In the city. Should the Sounthern conclude to carry the rumor to reality 1t would give that system considerably more room on the river front for its piers and wharf facilities.
 Work on the new passenger station is progressing most favorably. All of the foundations are down consisting of concrete and steel billings, and the frame work of the concrete walls is rapidly going up. Judging from tho frame work already up for the first floor, the building will be a massiVe one.
 Large forces are engaged in build ing the great piers for the southern Railway at the foot of Lipscomb and Adams streets. It will be a matter of be completed and as soon as this is done work will began on the ware houses which will be required for use Of vessels taking on and discharging cargoes to and from all parts of the world.
