Save the Baby.
The mortality amoni babies during ths
three teething years is something frightful.
The census of IMO shows that about one in
every seven succumbs.
The cause is
apparent.
With
baby’s
bones hardening, the fontanel (opening in the
skull) closing up and its teeth forming, all
these coming at once create a demand for
bone material that nearly half the little
systems are deficient In.
The result Is
peevishness, weakness, sweating, fever, diar
rhoea, brain troubles, convulsions, etc., that
prove terribly fatal. The deaths In IMO under
three years were 304,MM. to say nothing of
the vast number outside the big cities that
were not reported, and this In the United
States alone.
When baby begins to sweat, worry or cry
out In sleep don’t wait, and the need h
neither medicine nor narcotics.
What the
little system is crying out for Is more bone
material.
Sweetman's Teething Food sup
plies It. It has saved the Ilves of thousands
of babies.
They begin to Improve within
forty-eight hours.
Here Is what physicians
think of It.
»34 Washington Hi.,
San Francisco, June S, lMt.
Gentlemen—I am prescribing your food In
the multitude of baby troubles due to im
peded dentition. A large percentage of in
fantile ills and fatalities are the result of
slow teething. Your food supplies what the
deficient system demands, and I have had
surprising success with X in scores of cases
this diet, given with their regular food, has
not failed to check the infantile distresses.
Several of the more serious cases would, 1
feel sure, have been fatal without it. It can
not be too quickly brought to the attention
of the mothers of the country. It Is an ab
solute necessity.
U C. MENDEL, M. D.
Petaluma, Cal., September L 1MB.
Dear Sirs—I have just tried the teething
food In two cases and In both It was a suc
cess. One was a very serious case, so criti
cal that it
brought to me from another
city for treatment. Fatal results were feared.
In three days the baby ceased worrying and
commenced eating and Is now well. Its action
in this case was remarkable. I would ad
vise you to put it In every drug stere In this
city. Yours,
I. M. PROCTOR, M. D.
Sweetman's Teething Food will carry baby
safely and comfortably through the meet dan
gerous period of child life. It renders lanc
ing of the gums unnecessary. It Is the safest
plan and a blessing to the baby to not wait
for symptoms but to commence giving It the
fourth or fifth month. Then all the teeth
will come healthfully, without pain, dis
tress or lancing. It Is an auxiliary to their
regular diet and easily taken. Price 60 cents
(enough for six weeks), sent postpaid on re
ceipt of price. Pacific Coast Agents, IiJand

TOLD IN A DREAM;

Here Is an interesting, if somewhat
“creepy,” story which reaches us from
a correspondent upon whose good faith
we can rely: A certain young lady,
whom we will call Mary A., was re
covering from illneM. The doctor had
declared her to be out of danger, and
her friends and relatives were rejoic
ing in the fact. Nevertheless, Miss A.,
receiving a visit one day from a sister,
gravely assured her that she was going
to die. The sister poobpoobed the ides
