A Practically Perfect Preparation.
V/UARS of experience have enabled Mr. Fletcher to make Castoria a practically
perfect preparation. These years of labor: the amount of money required to
introduce its merits to the 1 public: the investment in its manufacture, including
the most modern machinery, mean a vast amount of invested capital. It follows
that the greatest care is exercised in the selection of each ingredient, and the
greatest attention is paid to every detail of its preparation. The result is the
practically perfect preparation in the finished product; Fletcher's Castoria.
Herein lies the guarantee of the absolute safety in the use of Fletcher's
Castoria for the baby, and the warning against irresponsible makers of imitations
and counterfeits. The signature of Chas. H. Fletcher that is printed in black on
the wrapper and red on the bottle is the mother's safeguard-
