AREAL. CHRISTMAS BOX.—Mrs. JOHNSON,
Solo Proprietor of the AMERICAN SOOTHING SY.
RCP, for Children cutting their Teeth, 28, York.place, City.rcad.
At this critical season, when Children are teething, and suffer more
pain than at any time of the year, very few escaping convulsions, it
is earnestly recommended to every mother and nurse who have
young children not to be without the American Soothing Syrup in
the nursery, as it gives immediate relief. Mrs. Johnson, feeling
for the poor at a time like this, when so many are nut of employ,
and wishing to relieve those little sufferers, has given them a real
Christmas Box, by extending her charity one hour longer; that
is to say from 9 to 11 every Tuesday and Saturday mornings until
next March (and then as usual from 9 till 10) while the days are so
very short, as hundreds who live at a great distance cannot get
their children to her house in time; they must bring a letter from a
respectable housekeeper that they are real objects of charity. Mrs.
Johnson hopes, at the same time, so great a charity will not be
abused, as it is entirely out of her own private purse ; and trusts
that persona who can afliird to purchase the Syrup will not injure
the pour by obtaining what is intended for their relit
This inestimable medicine to be had wholesale and re.a:l as
