Dr. W. L. Leister, of Rogers, Ark, says: !" As a practicing phy- sician I use Csstoria and like it very much"
 Dr. W. T. Seeley, of Amity, N. Y, says "I have used your Cas- toria for several years in my practice and have found it safe and reliable remedy"
 Dr. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa Ynez, Cal, says "After using your Castoria for children for years it annoys me greatly to have an ignorant druggist substitute some thing else, especially to the pa- tient's disadvantage, as in this case. l enclose herewith the wrapper of the imitation"
 Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo, says Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepa- rations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice be- cause I have found it to be thor oughly reliable remedy for chil- dren's complaints. Any physician who has raised 8 family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom- mendation of Castoria,"

 Dr. Howard James, of New York, City, says It is with great pleas ure that desire to testify to the medicinal virtue of your Castoria. 1 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"

Moon Blindness.

A naval correspondent has written
from Port of Spain. Trinidad. stating
that In his travels he had come across
many cases of moon blindness, caused
by men sleeping with the moon shin
ing upon them. such cases occurring
principally In the tropics and the Med
iterranean.
Strange to say. adds the Trinidad
correspondent. men 30 affected can see
in daylight, but cannot do SO when
dusk sets In. Mr.. Elgie further quotes
from a communication made by New
Zealand correspondent to weekly SCI
entific journal. This correspondent
was. many years ago. an apprentice on
the Liverpool ship Langdale, an East
India trader.
Once when the ship was between St.
Helena and the line some OF the crew
slept on deck fully exposed to the
glare of the brilliant moon. When they
awoke. three Of them were quite moon
blind. They had to be led about at
night. and ropes put into their hands.
