A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT.

Having passed several sleepless nights,
disturbed by the agonie> and cries of a
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
Just the article needed, procured eupply
for the child. On reaching home aud
acqua,nting his wife with what he had
done, she refused to have it administered
TO the child, as she was strongly In favor
of homeopathy. That night the child
passed in suffering and the parents with.
out sleep. Returning home the day fol-
lowing, the father found the baby still
worse; and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room 20 attend to some domestic du.
ties, and left the father with the child
During her absence he administered q
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 sud
den and wonderful change, aud although
at first offended at the deception practic
ed upon her, has continued to use tht
Syrup, and suffering, crying babies ane
restless nights have disappeared. A sin
gle trial of the Syrup never yet failed t
relieve the baby, and overcome the pre-
judices Of the mother. Sold by al
Druggists, 25 cts bottle.
