It will relieve the poor sxifferer immediately. It is perfectly harmless, and pleasant to the taite; it produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the littla cherub awakes "as bright as a button." It socthes the child, it softens the giuns, "Jlay^ all pain," relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for dysentery, and diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Mrs Winslow's Soothing Syrup is sold by medicine dealers everywhere at Is Ji^ per bottle.— Advt
