This preparation L bo in nocent, so tdHrarious, so pleasant, tint no child will refuse to let its go ins be rubbed with it. When iu.'V.uis are at the age of four tumults, though there is no np pearauce of teeth, one bottle of the Syrup should be used on the gouts, to open the pores. Parents should never he widioul the Syrup in the nursery where there are young children; for if a child wakes in the night with p du in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease by open ing the pores nod healing he guim-; there by preventing l.'unvuhdons, Peers.&e.

It most not be put to the breast immediately, for the milk would take the syrup oil' too soon. When the teeth are just coming through their Kums. mothers should immediately apply the sy rup; it will prevent the children having 0 fever, and undergoing that painful opera tion of lancing the gums, which always wakes ihe tooth much harder to come through, and sometimes causes death.
