"This years attendance is eX-

The commission points out that

the aged should be cared for when

There is hardly a household that
hasn't heard of Castoria! At least
five million homes are never with

A vegetable product; a baby remedy

about the only thing you have ever

fants. Stronger medicines are dan
gerous to a tiny baby, however
harmless that may be to grown-ups.
Good old Castorial Remember the
