Having passed several nights dis.
turbed 10y the agonies and cries OF a suf-
fering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Svrup
was just the article needed, procured a
supply for the child. On reaching home
and acquainting his wife with what he
had done, she refused TO have IL admins
tered to the child, as she was strongly in
favor of homeopathy. That night the
child passed In suffering, and the parents
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 attend to some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence, he administered a
portion Of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept well, and the little fellow
awoke in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud
den and wonderful change and although
~ first offended at the deception prac-
uced upon her, has continued 10 use the
syrup, and suffering, crying babies and
restless nights have disappeared A
single trial of the syrup never yet failed
to relieve the baby and overcome the
prejudice Of the mother. Sold by all
druggists, . cents a bottle.
