ANOTHEBUFB 8AVED. Mrs. Harriet Cum;
mlngs, of -Cinolnnati,. Ohio,, writes : "Early last
winter my daughter was attaczed with a severe
cold, whtoh -settled on her lnngs. We tried sev
eral medicines, hone of which seemed to do her
any good, but- she continued to get Worse, and
finally raised large amounts of blood 'from her
lungs: We called in .a family physician, but he
failed to do her any good. -at this time a friend
who had been eure4hyIR. WM. HALL'S BAL
SAM FOB THE LUNGS,' advised me to give it a
trial. We got a bottle -and she began to im
prove, and by the use of three bottles was en
tirely cured' " : i

WHO IS MBS. -W1NSLOW t As this question
Is frequently asked, we will simply say that she is
a lady who for upwards of thirty years has untfe
rtngly devoted her time and talents as a female
Physician and nurse, principally among children.
She has especially studied the constitution and
wants of this numerous class, and, 'as a result of
this effort, and practical knowledge, obtained- in.
a lifetime spent as a nurse and physician, she has
compounded a Soothing Syrup for ohildren teeth
ing. It operates , like maglo-rgi ving rest and
health, tad ia, moreover, sure to regulate the
bowels. In consequence of this article Mrs. Wins
low is becoming world-renowned as a benefactor
of her race; children certainly do xn tr and
bless her; especially is this the case in this city.
Vast quantities pf the Soothing Syrup are daily
sold and used here. 4 We think Mrs. winslowhas
Immortalized her name by this' invaluable arti
cle, and we sincerely believe thousands of chil
dren have been saved from an early grave by its
timely mse, and that millions yet unborn will
share its benefits, and unite-in calling her blessed,'
No Motkbb has discharged her duty to herTsuffer
ing little one, in our opinion, sntil sheMs given
itthe benefit of Mrs. Wbialow's Soothing Syxupt,
Try it, mothers tbt rr voir. Ladies' Fiuor,Kew

good effect, and many garments were carried
away from our store. The. , ,
Eednctions in Prices I
jwere, as we promised, so conspicuous tnat every
one who called to look saw it; ' and uncertain
callers became satisfied buyers. '
Our trade since the holidays consequent has
not slacked tfp, but kept moviag, and ourwhoie

We are, however, Etlll anxious to sell, and thi
