It will relieve the poor sufferer immediately. It is perfectly harmless and pleasant to 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 tho gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates tho 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. Idd. per bottle. Manufactured at 493 Oxfordstreet. London.— At>vt
