Do You Know that Castoria is a purely vegetable preparation, and that a list of its Ingredients Is published with every bottle ? Do You Know that Ca.toria Is the prescription of the famnous Dr. Samuel Pitcher. That It has been in use for nearly thirty years, and that more Castoria is now sold than of al other remedies for children combined ? Do You Know that the Patent Office Department of the United States, and of other countries, have issued exclusive right to Dr. Pitcher and his assigns to use the word "Castoria" and its formula, and that to Imitate them is a state prison offene ? Do You Know that one of the reasons for granting this government protection Was because castoria had been proven to be absolutely harmless?
