Summary edit

Description
English:

In 1849, Mrs. Charlotte N. Winslow, a physician and mother-in-law of Jeremiah Curtis, created a formula to sooth the aches and pains of teething infants. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup contained 65 milligrams of morphine per fluid ounce. Due to infant deaths caused by overdoses, this popular product and its imitations became known as "baby killers."

Text:
For children teething. Mothers! You will find Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup an invaluable friend. It cures dysentery and diarrhea, regulates the stomach and bowels, cures wind colic, softens the gums, reduces inflammation, and gives tone and energy to the whole system. In almost every instance, where the infant is suffering from pain and exhaustion, relief will be found in fifteen or twenty minutes after the Soothing Syrup has been administered. Do not fail to procure it.
