JEPSON'S BALSAMIC SOOTHING SYRUP,
0 for Children Cutting their Teeth, is an invaluable domestic
remedy for mitigating the sufferings of Infancy at that perilous
period, perfectly safe in its application, and so pleasant to the
taste that no child will dislike it. It gives immediate relief in
those sudden paroxysms of pain which so frequently produce
alarming consequences, and the regular application of it allays
the irritation and inflammation in the gums, soothing and
tranquillizing the system, and thus warding off serious and
often fatal results. Sold in Bottles, at Is. 13d. and 2s. 9d. each ;
the larger size most advantageous to the purchaser.
JEPSON'S TEETHING POWDERS, prepared from the pre-
scription of an eminent Physician in extensive practice, are
admirably adapted to regulate the-bowels of Infants when out
of order, and to remove that irritability of the system conse-
quent upon teething, which so often renders an Infant uneasy
and fretful, and predisposes it to fever and convulsions. Their
action is mild and gentle, neutralizing the causes of disorder
in the stomach and bowels, determining a salutary perspiration
•to the skin, and restoring the bowels to their natural and
healthy condition. whether in a cozrfinedstate or unduly relaxed.
N.B. As these Powders contain neither Calomel nor Anti-
mony, the most timid Mother need be under no apprehension
• in giving them to the tenderest Infant. They are perfectly safe
and highly beneficial.
Sold in Packets at Is. lid. and 2s. 9d. each. The latter con
•taining three of the former.
The Balsamic Soothing Syrup and Teething Powders may
also be had in boxes, containing a small bottle of the Syrup and
a small Packet of Powders, at 25., or the larger size of each at
45. 6d., thus effecting a considerable saving to purchasers.
