CHILDREN CUTTING THEIR TEETH.
IIS remedy possesses superior advantages to all others,
in counteracting the dreadful effects arising from painful den.
tition. It is a well known fact that many thousand children are car-
ried off annually, at this important crisis, in fits and convulsions.—
No antidote hitherto introduced for alleviating the distressing
paroxysms endured by the tender infant, at this period, can boast
of equal merit. It cools and comforts the gums; assuages the most
violent anguish consequent on their inflammation ; and its demulcent
properties to soften and render elastic these acute parts as generally to
produce the teeth in their regular order with incredible ease and ra-
pidity, without constipating the bowels and exciting other baneful ef-
frets ; by which the necessity of lancing the gums, so pregnant with
dangerous results, is entirely superseded. The fond mother, sympa-
thizing with her tender offspring in its writhing agonies, will be lost in
astonishment at the value of this discovery. It is introduced at the
lowest price by the Proprietor, from the pure intention of rendering
. universal benefit to this class of sufferers, who ever claim out warm-
est sympathy.

The following Letter will prove it is' The Mother's Best Companion

for the Nursery.'

No. I, Queen's Row, Palmer's Village; Westminster, Nov. 7, 1810,
SIR—In hopes that all parents will try the same remedy, I have
thought it my duty to inform you that your Golden Balm has wrought
the greatest wonder in my Child, aged 7 months, in taking one bottle
only. I cannot describe the agony she endured from her gums before
its use. Night after night she deprived me of rest by constant crying,
and nothing seemed to give her u moment's ease, and I was often afraid
the would expire in convulsion fits. her gums were very hard, and
much ss elicit and inflamed. She had wasted away to a mere shadow.
But, Sir, only judge of my astonishment ! A few drops rubbed on her
guns gave her immediate ease. 1 applied it two or three times a day
always with the same arca • her bowels, which were very costive, be-
eline regulated ; and I thank God the child is fast recovering its flesh,
and strength. She has since cut two teeth with considerable ease. In
writing this I perfunu a dt.ty I owe to you and the public.
Your humble servant,
MARY CARTER.

private practice, and since their public introduction, have been de-
veloped in an astonishing degree.

Hoorixo Couoii.—On the treatment of this disease,
(Which a. this time prevails in London and throughout the country,)
a very valuable practical articlu appears in the 4th number of the
" Monthly (ituette of Practical Medicine, (a reprint of which was
published on the lat tostant,) by which it appears that the Oxy-
-5) !up of the Lobelia Inflate (the bladder-podded lobelia) is the most
cfheacious remedy that has been discovered, generally effecting a cure In
die course of three or four days. After the first dose, sap die writer.
u:c paroxysms are considerably milder, and the intervals of recurrence
tery considerably longer. In the bth Number, published on the same
aaY•i Ur. Brand highly extols the Sulphurer of Potass, and an eminent
practitioner of London, Vaccination, as effectual remedies. The 4th
Number of this work contains minute directions as to diet, to which
particular attention should assuredly be paid in a malady, the seat of
°winch appears to be chiefly in the digestive organs. The instructions
:ro by Dr. Kinglake for the treatment of tedious teething and of
thruh, and the eases of local and general debility cured by the Roand-
leaf Comel, by Dr. Sully, (which appear in the same Number,) are
!try interesting The critical examination of Dr. Itarnadge's Letter Julio Si. John Long, with the exposure of the real view of the
sttritir, is highly creditable to the editors. In consequence of the ex-
hstve. circulation of this work, the proprietors are enabled to extend
:-ch Number to 48 pages, although closely printed on superfine
meet
the low price of one shilling. Among its contributors are the lint
`'ants in medicine.
