IT is pleasing to observe the immediate relief that is
afforded to suffering infants by that blessing to Mothers,

THE AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP,

The efficacy of which is daily adding to the great number of Chil-

dren relieved from the exacta e pains of Dentition.

The following Case is that of the Child of Mr. PEARS, No. 1,
Duke's Buildings, Birmingham, who, at the age of two years, was
brought to such a state in cutting its back Teeth, that it was given
over by two Physicians, they taking it for an inflammation on the
chest :—On the arrival of Mrs. JOHNSON'S books at the above place,
a friend conveyed one to the mother of the child, thinking it might
be its teeth; on feeling the child's gums, they were observed to be
very hard, and much swelled. When the father came home to
dinner, he fetched a bottle of the Syrup, which was applied to its
gums. The next morning the Doctor was surprised at the unex-
pected change that had taken place, the child being so much better,
and in a few days was pate well.
To be had, wholesale and retail, of Joawsoa and Co. V.B, York-
place, City-road; and, by their appointment, of all principal Medi-
cine Venders in Town and Country, at 2s. 9d. per bottle.
CA UTION.—None are genuine unless signed on the Stamp with
Mrs. JOHNSON'S own band-writing, as there are several spurious sorts.
