'afforded to my suffering infant by our
Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted

I feeling parent how essential an early np
I plication of such an invaluable medicine
I is to relieve infant misery and torture, My
' infant, while teething, experienced su h
acute sufferings, thai U was attacked wit!,
J convulsions, and my wife and family np
I posed that death would soon release th
i babe from anguish till we procured a bot
I tie of your Syrup; which as soon as p
I plied to the gums a wonderful change w-.is
I produced, and after a few applications the
1 child displayed obvious relief, and by con
jtinuing in its use. I am glad to inform
lyon, the child has completely recovered.
and no recurrence of that aw ful complain)
has since occurred; the teeth are emana
ting daily and the child enjoys perfect
.health. I giveyuu my cheerful permission
to mke this acknowledgment public, am!
Iwill gladly give any information on thi

I When children begin to be in pain with
t heir teeth, shooting in their gums, put lt
t II tile of the Syrup in a tea-spoon, and
" fwith the finger let the child's gums lie
Tubbed for two or three minutes, three
viines a day. It must not be put to the

t ike the syrup off too soon. When the
teeth arn just coining through their gums,
