Teeth, removed from 94, Newman-street. to 28, York-place, City.
road, London, begs leave to caution :Gotha' 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
Measles and Chin-cough are so prevalent. If the irritation of
the gums comes with any other disonler eery few infants•recover.
Mothers ought never to be without the AMERICAN SOOTH-
ING SYRUP in the Nursery ; for ifs child awakes in the night
with pains in its gums, this valuable Medicine applied, will no.
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 hail, wholesale and retail, as above, and of all principal
Medicine Venders in Town and Country, at 9s. 9d. per bottle.
N.R. None ass genuine, unless signed on the Stamp with Mrs.
Johnson's own har.d.writing, as there are several spurious sorts.
