What is CASTORIA
Castoria is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric,
Drops and Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant. It ontains
neither Opium, Morphine nor other narcotic substance. Its
age is its guarantee. For more than thirty years it has
been in constant use for the relief of Constipation, Flatulency,
Wind Colic and Diarrhoea; allaying Feveri: hness arisl.g
therefrom, and by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, aids
the assimilation of Food; giving healthy and natural, sleep.
