JEPSON'S BALSAMIC SOOTHING SYRUP,
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. lid. and 2s. Pd. 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 o he system conse-
quent upon teething, which so often r ers an Infant uneasy
and fretful, and predisposes it to fev and convulsions. Their
action is mild and gentle, neutr zing the causes of disorder
in the stomach and bowels, de Dining a salutary perspiration
to the skin, and restoring e bowels to their natural and
healthy condition, wheth n a confined state or unduly relaxed.
N.B. As these Pow s contain neither Calomel nor Anti-
mony, the most tim 'other need be under no apprehension
in giving them to e tenderest Infant. They are perfectly safe
and highly ben vial.
Sold in Packets at Is. Izid. and 2s. 90. 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
