a result of this effort. and practical
knowledge, of obtained in a lifetime
spent as nurse and physician, she has
compounded Soothing Syrup. for
children teething. 1t operates like
magic-giving rest and health, and is
moreover, sure to regulate to bowels.
In consequence of this article. Mrs.
Winslow is becoming world-renown-
ed as benefactor of her race; children
certainly do rise up and bless her;
especially is this the case in this city.
