MOTHERS! READ THIS.
Amo vour children restless, irritable, wakeful, feverish ? Are they cutting teeth ! Are the game red and painful ? Have they diarrhea ? Have they fits or spasms ? If so,
USE THE ORIENTAL SYRUP.
It is the only Syrup or Cordial, or CHILD MEDICINE In market free from Opium, Mor- phine, or Paragoric. These you can't give ; or, at least, you onght not to. They de- stroy the functions of the BRAIN ; the child grow . pale ; its eyes grow wild: its flesh becomes soft ; it loses its mind : it becomes an Idiot. Mothers, these are facts ! To be convinced, try it. The Oriental Syrup contains NONE of those poisons. It is per- fectly harmless. It is soothing-quieting. The child sleeps sweetly, and awakes refresh- ed and lively. The teeth penetrate the gums without pain. It is good for aged and ner- vous people. TRY IT.

THE BALM OF GILEAD!
SIR ASHLEY COOPER, in one of his lectures to his class, says :- I have used the Balm of Gilead in my practice, in one form or other, for more than forty years ; and for Old Nores or Ulcers, Eruptions, Rheumatism, Burns, Chilblains, Scalds, Piles, Chafes, &c., it surpasses every other known remedy.
Rosenberger's Balm of Gilead Ointment
Is composed of Oils and Balsams from trees and shrubs, and for all the diseases referred to by Dr. Cooper, we warrant it almost a specific. For Gall, Grease and Wounds of Horses, it has no equal. We warrant it ; therefore do not hesitate to try it for every kind of Wound, Bruise or Sore.
