FLORENCE, S. c., Fo,


l was first advised by our family
physician in Charleston to use
TEETHINA with our baby when he
was a very young infant, as a pre-
ventive of collie and to warm and
sweeten the stomach. Later it was
useful in teething troubles, and its
effect has been found to be so very
beneficial and so free from the dangers
that are consequent upon the use o
drugs and soothing syrups, that we
have come to regard it, after use with
three children, as one of the necessi-
ties when there is new baby in the
house and until the teething troubles
are over, and we take pleasure in rec.
ommending it to our friends instead
of the horrid stuff that so many peo
pie use TO keep their babies quiet.
