Advice to Hothers ! — Are you broken in your ri&t by a sick child suffering with the pain of cutting teeth ? Go at once to a chemiitt and get a bottle of Mrs Winslow's Soothi>g Syrup. It will relieve the poor sufferer immediattly. It is " perfectly harmless, and pleasant to the taste ; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes " as bright as a button." It soothes the child, it softens the gums, allays all pain, relievos wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for dyßentery and diarrhoea whether aris■ng'from teething or other cauaes.
