A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS.

sit HERE is not, perhaps, in the whole Materia Medics
any one remedy which so effectually relieves the pain of a
ering patient as the AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP.
WM can watch the writhing tortures into which a lovely infant is
often convulsed dining the period of dentition, without feeling
sympathy for its sufferings ? And wbo would hesitate to procure a
remedy, when a remedy can be found, which is obvious by the
tactual relief afforded in so many distressing cages which are daily
coining to the notice of Mrs. Johnson ? l'herefore, Mothers ought
never to be without the AMERICAN SO( rfIIINO SYRUP in
the Nursery; for, if a child awakes in the night with pain, by only
rubbing the gums with a few drops of the Syrup, it will inbnedi-
-1 ately open the pores, heal the gums, and thereby prevent fevers sad
convulsions ; for should it come in competition with any other dis-
order, it often destroys the mother's brightest hopes.
