Prominent Physicians Addressed

Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chica- go, H., says "I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice and find it very satisfactory.
 Dr. William Belmont, of Cleve- land, Ohio, says Your Castoria stands first in it's class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place."
 Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich, says l prescribe your Gas toria extensively as l have never found anything to equal it for chil- dren's troubles. I am aware that there are limitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's."
 Dr. Charming H. Cook, of Saint Louis, Mo, says: "I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a great consideration in view of the fact that most medi- cines of this character are obnox- ious and therefore difficult of ad- ministration.

is a channel between the rocks hay ing approximately F feet of water at low water with a width of 90 feet but due to the currents and the loca- ton of the rocks with reference to each other, navigating a boat between the two rocks is exceedingly difficult If the two rocks were remoVed-one to feet and the other to 12 feet-good navigation to the public dock would be provided. During the summer sea- son excursion boats run between Nor wich and New London and points on the sound. landing at this public dock It Is very desirable in the interests of these boats, that the rocks be removed.
 All of the data necessary for making an estimate of the amount of rock to be removed is available. No additional surveys will be required. The cost of the removal will be small.
 As the navigation up this portion of the Shetucket river is a continuation of navigation of the Thames river. it is thought that it would be entirely proper to include the removal of these rocks in the project for the improve ment of the Thames river. and that it should be made q part of that pro ject and it is recommended that the removal of these rocks at a cost not to exceed $2,000. to be paid from the funds appropriated for the improve ment of the Thames river, be author ized.
 The commerce of the Shetucket riv- CT forms part of the commerce of the Thames river. It is not known what it is as separate item
 No question of water power, termi- nal facilities, floods, land reclama- ton, or other related subjects are in volved in this case.

 Dr. Wm. I. McCann of Omaha, Neb., says e As the father of thir- teen children I certainly know something about your great medi- cine and aside from my own family experience, l have. in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home"
 Dr. Howard James, of New York, City, says '' It is with great pleas ure that I desire to testify to the medicinal virtue of your Castoria. I have used it with marked benefit in the case of my own daughter, and have obtained excellent results from its administration to other children in my practice
 Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- phia, Pa, says "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy"
