ton that they will be found safe and sovereign

proprietor Who for ten years. suffered all the gloom
incident to that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied to
most other Bers, of not proving injurious by con-
tinued use. They contain not single deleierious
ingredient, and as seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety to an infant in the month.
