Edwards' Alterative Powders, For Children in Measles, Scarlatina, Hooping Cough, Croup, Convulsions, Teething, Small Pox, Thrush, Re- laxation of the Bowels, Worms, Local Inflammation, Glandular Swellings, Distention and Hardness of the Body, accompanied with loss of appetite and wasting of the limbs; also in recent Coughs and Colds, they are very efficient in removing the Tightness of the Chest and Difficulty of Respiration, and in every disease attended with fever they will be found truly valuable. They do not produce the debilitating results arising from the ex- hibition of drastic purgatives, but their action is mild, and consists in gently restoring the functions. They may be safely given to an infant a few days old -to those of maturer age, and to those advanced in life. In the preparation of these Powders a great difficulty is obviated, and a desirable end obtained, as children will take them with as much facility as a piece of sugar or a. lozenge. Directions for Use given with the Powders. To be had at EDWARDS', CHEMIST, adjoining the Post-office, Usk, Red and Black Water in Cattle. AN INFALLIBLE REMEDY.
