A CARD.
NNITS. JOHNSON. Sole Proprietor of the AMERT-
-1 CAN SOOTHING SYRUP for Children Cutting their
Teeth, removed from 94, Newman-street. to 211, Yorkplace, City.
road, London, begs leave to caution Mothers and Nurses, at a
critical season, like the present, when children are teething, the
utmost attention ought to be paid to them,
_particularly as the
3leasles and Chin-cough are so prevalent. 1r the irritation of
the gums comes with any other disorder very few infants recover.
Mothers ought never to be without the AM ERFCAN SOOTH-
ING. SYRUP in the Nursery • for if a child awakes in the night
with pains in its gums. the, videehie Mediebse applied, will LID.
mediately open the pores, heal the gums, and thereby prevent
fevers and convulsions ; for should it come in competition with any
other disorder, it often destroys the mother's brightest hopes.
To be had, wholesale and retail, a above, and of all principal
Medicine Venders in Town and Country, at 2s. 9d. per bottle.
N.B. None are genuine, unless signed on the Stamp with Mrs.
Johnson's own hand-writing, as there are several spurious sorts.
