1t has bean imagined, and in fact coma to b

nay, that the instrument waa incapable OF fur

A DOWN town merchant, having passed sew
eral sleepless nights, disturbed by the agonies
and cries of a suffering child, and becoming
convinced that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
was just the article needed, procured a supply
for the child. On reaching home and acquaint-
ing his wife with what he had done, she re-
fused to have it administered to the child, as
she was strongly in favor of homeopathy. That
night the child passed in suffering, and the pa
rents without sleep. Returning home the day
following, the father found the baby still worse
and while contemplating another sleepless
night, the mother stepped, from the, room to
father with the child. During her absence he
administered portion Of the Soothing Syrup
to the baby, and said nothing That night all
hands slept we'll, and the little fellow awoke In
the morning bright and happy. The mother
was delighted with the sudden and wonderful
change, and although at first offended by the
deception practiced upon her, has continued
to use the Syrup. and suffering, crying babies
and sleepless nights have disappeared. A sin
gle trial of the Syrup never yet failed to re.
leve the baby, and overcome the prejudices of
the mother
