MOTHERS! READ THIS.
Are your children restless, irritable, wakeful, feverish ? Are they cutting teeth ? Are the gums 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 Opinm, Mor- phine, or Paragoric. These you can't give ; or. at least. you ought not to. They de- stroy the functions of the BRAIN ; the child grows pale ; its eyes grow wild; its desh 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.
