The Mother's Helper! The Baby's Joy!

The Centennial Baby Walking-Table.

This Walking-Table is the best article of the kind ever offered to the mothers of America. The time saved to be given to other duties, aside from personal relief to the mother or nurse, will more than pay the price of the table. Any child that can stand a moment by a chair without falling, can, by one day's practice, and sometimes at once, walk where it pleases about the room. It is so constructed that it is impossible for the child to fall or get injured in any way.

Prices.--Metal, very fine, $5. Black-Walnut, $5. Imitation Walnut, $3.50.

Sent to any address on receipt of price, or C.O.D. Send for circular.
