• The Baby Tender.— The best of all Inven¬ 
tions for lessening the labor and anxiety of 
mothers, and promoting the health and happi¬ 
ness of her offspring. We do not speak from 
hearsay when we aver that, of all labor-saving, 
health-preserving, sleep-persuading, quiet-re- 
Btoring contrivances for the use of mothers and 
children. Brown’s Baby Tender stands unri¬ 
valed. For more than two years we have wit¬ 
nessed in our own fami ly its practical advan¬ 
tages, and we feel that we are doing many of 
our readers a favor by calling their attention 
to it. The Baby Tender ought to he in every 
house where there is a baby."— N. T. Independ¬
