RUSSELL, one of our careful and Intel? ligent Pharmaceutists and Apothecaries, has sub? mitted to my examination thc formula for the preparation of a Soothing Cordial prepared and vended by him. It affords me pleasure to express a favorable opinion of Ita safe and efficient adaptation to the particular cases of thc diseases of children, which it is designed to relieve. E. GEDDINGS, M. D. Having had occasion to prescribe RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial iu severe esses of Bowel Com? plaints in children ami delicate females, I have been much pleased with it? effects. I cousldcr lt a valuable medicine In all cases, in which it. may bi- advisable to avo 'i thc use of anodyne, and par Ueulorty ior family usc, an it ta perfectly safe. W. T. WKACG, M. D. CHARLESTON, S. C., isca. Dear Sir-I have used your Soothing Cordial for Diarrfcosa In teething children, and find it a very excellent preparation, lt IUM :i great advantage over most preparations of the kind In containing no Opium or Narcotic. When ttics?; are required they can bc added In proportions applicable lo the case. I therefore can recommand Ifs use in thc affec? tions for which lt Ls designed. Respectfully yours, ic, T. L. OGIER, M. D. CHARLESTON, S. C.. 18C8. I certify that I have most successfully used RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial tn thc Summer Com? plaints Of infants. He has fully exhibited the in? gredients of his remedy, and the tedious method ot preparation. I recognize tho prescription containing no anodyne whatever-as a most safe and efficacious one in bowel affections of condron. When much pain or restlessness attends the affec? tion, doses of Paregoric can be added to the pre? scribed doses of the Cordial according to thc age of the patient? The compound, though more often, acts in an efficient manner without any ad? dition of anodyne. In the Diarrhoea of the aged, tn increased doses, lt ls of great value as a remedy; never disagree? ing with tho stomach-Increasing appetite, im? proving digestion, and acting ai a slow but effi? cient astringent agent. ?i W. M. FITCH, M. D. MOUNT PLEASANT, S. C., 1868. Afr. /. B. Russell : DEAR SIR-1 have used your Soothing Cordial for children extensively in my practice, and most cheerfully testify to Its merits. I have found lt, without an exception, to accomplish all lt claims, and consider it superior to anything in cse for children. Its freedom from anodyne of any kind recom? mends it as a perfectly safe preparation tn the hands of mothers and Inexperienced nurses. Very respectiiUly, Ac, D. R. WILLIAMS, M. D. Made by J. B. RUSSELL, Chemist. Sold tty Dr. H. BAER, Wholesale Agent for South Carolina. OttUS B E C A R E F U WHAT MEDICINES YOU TAKE.
