ADVICE TO Moruams.—Are you broken of your rest
by a sick child, suffering with the pain of catting teeth?
Go at once to a chemist, and got a bottle of Ms, Wins
-
low's Soothing Syrup. It will relieve the poor sufferer
immediately ; it is perfectly harmless ; it produces natu-
ral quiet sleep, by relieving the child from pain, and the
little cherub awakes "as bright as a button." It has
been long in use in America, and Is highly recommended
by medical men ; it is very pleasant to take; it soothes
the child ; it softens the gums, allays all pain, relieve'
wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy
for dysentery and diarrlera, whether arising from teeth-
ing or other causes. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Wins
-
low's Soothing Syrup. No mother should be withoet
