THE INFANTS' PANACEA.
A TKINSON'S INFANTS' PRESERVATIV , prepared
/a. only by ROBERT BARKER, (Nephew d Successor
ifewie
to the late Mr. Atkinson,) Druggist and Ap lecary, No. 1,
Market-place. and 8, Oldham-street, Man ster, iu moulded
bottles, at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. aqh. Sold by all
respectable Medicine Vendrs.—T medicine is recom-
mended to all parents, nurses, and iers who are entrusted
with the management of Children, a Medicine of real and
approved efficacy in preventing arid removing those disorders
to which Children in their early Infancy are most liable ;
principally proceeding from a redundance of Acidity in the
first passages, Wind, the Watery and Dry Gripes, Convul-
sions, the Frog, &c., in which so many Children fall victims ;
hut which may, in general, be prevented, by the use of the
Preservative. It is also happily calculated for allaying those
excruciating Pains which Children suffer in cutting their
Teeth ; and will, by being previously used, render this opera-
tion of Nature perfectly mild and free from danger. It is
also equally efficacious in many other Disorders to which
Children are liable, as the Rickets, Hooping Cough, &c.,
and it may be added, that this Medicine is so perfectly inno-
cent, that it may be given, with the greatest safety, to an
Infant immediately after birth ; and its efficacy is fully esta-
blished by the simple fact, that Seventy Thousand Bottles
are annually sold in Great Britain alone.
N.B.—Please to be particular in asking for Atkinson's
Infant's Preservative, and observe the name of " ROBERT
BARKER, 1, Market-place, Manchester," upon the Go-
vernment Stamp, affixed over the cork of each bottle of the
genuine Medicine.
