ADVICE TO MOTHERS.

The Eau de Suez, bo called from the name of its inventor, is certainly one of tho_ moßt valuable discoveries of the century. It is the deathblow to charlatanism, and, therefore, escapes the contempt and distrust so long felt towards all that relates, to dental hygiene. _ The new specific, which has been witli justice termed " Vaccine for the Mouth," really does away with Toothache as completely as Vaccination does away with Small-pox— perhaps even more so ; for the usefulness of the latter is generally limited to the mere preservation of the face fmm disfigurement. But, as a writer in the " Figaro" has well expressed it, what ia a face — bo it ever so young, fresh, and handsome — if in smiling, or even talking, the mouth opens and discloses itself void of those pearls which God haß placed there for two purposes, viz , physical beauty, and indispensable use to the stomach ? To suffer no more 1 Those alone who have experienced the tortures of Toothache will be able to appreciate the value of those four words. Toothache is as old as mankind, and yet, sad to relate, neither the science of Havana nor the attempts of quacks have ever succeeded in abolishing it, and consequently bave never succeedad in the preservation of those precious instruments whose absence is a stigma, and whose presence, especially in a woman, is one of the greatest of ornaments. However, from this time forth, there is not the slightest doubt that Toothache will become a thing of the past; for the Eau de Suez guarantees the teeth from aching, the gums from ulcerating, the throat and breathing organs from quinsy and croup ; and, as a natural sequence, there will be no further necessity for gold-stopping, filling, and, above all, extraction I— that horrible extraction — the inutility of wtiich was bo ably demonstrated in La Vie Parisienne of the 25th of last March. Thousands bear daily testimony and witness to the marvellous efficacy of this new Dentifrice Water, which certainly must, and will, replace every other, since it is, at the same time, an infallible specific and a perfumed toilet water. For five years the inventor has received nothing but praises and thanks (never complaints) from numbers of people who, after consulting his agent as to its value, have followed his advice, and re turned to thank him for it. Of course there will be antagonism, as there is to all good things — especially from quacks and charlatans ; for they all live by filling, extracting, and, as a matter of course, making sets of artificial teeth, and are each of them the inventor-proprietor of what they term " the best dentifrice water in existence," without reflecting that if it were such as they represent, they would have to give up the filling and extracting. But they know very well what they are doing, and it is only necessary to have a limited acquaintance with human nature to understand t&at if you ask your dentist for his permission to try Eau de Suez, he will answer— be he ever so honest —that his own dentifrice is much better, and that alone, &c, &c. But in the same way as the Vaocine of Jenner gained ground with a people disfigured by Bmallpox, in spite of the charlatans of that time, so_ will the Eau de Suez gain ground in spite of the charlatans of /this day, and for this reason : there is not a mother— not one — who would not expone herself to the greatest dangers to oave the lifo of her child. Now, tha mother whom the terror of croup keeps constantly on the alest, hearing that there is a specific which not only preserves the teeth, but which also guar anteos children from that fearful malady,— this mother, I say, in spite of all the charlatans in the world, will try this specific upon herself first, especially if, in spito of all the known dentifrice waters, ohe be subject to toothache. When thia mother aeoo that, m leos than three months, the daily use of the Eaude Suez marked with a green thread has completely freed her from teothacho, and all other diseases of the mouth, she will certainly ha9ten to obtain more, and see that her child uses it every day, even twice a day. At the end of six, twelve, or twenty-four months, when her maternal ex perience (fcho surest of all) Bhall have proved that the Eau de Sufa is not only so harmless that it may, like Eau de Cologne, be given in certain cases aa an internal remedy, and further, that possesses curative and preventive properties in the highest degree, do you not think that thiu mother will bless G-od for having nreaervod her child from toothache and croup ? Yes— a thousand times yes l-and from than time the supremacy of tb.o E*u de Suez will be established. Let mothers, then, reflect and act without delay. Let their maternal inatinctß free them from what is but interested adyice ; and let them repulse the absurd and wicked opposition of people who, the case occurring, couH do nothing but accompany their children to tho grave, Tfc is a mother who appeals to mother.
