To this end it is said that it will be all powerfnl. How can it be so but by causing the. banks, by reason of this constant drain of speck greatly to restrict their issues?

EVANS’ CELEBRATED SOOTHING , SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth.— This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil- \ dren, when thought past recovery, from convul- < sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. The preparation is so innocent, so efficacious and se pleasant, that no ' child will refuse to let its gums he rubbed with it. When infants are at the ag*j of four months,though there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the 1 Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are youugchildren; for if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the pores and healing the gums; thereby preventing convulsions, fevers, &c. Sold only at Dr. Wm. j Evans’ Medical OJtice, 100 Chatham street. New York, where the Doctor may' be consulted on all , diseases of children. PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF i Dr. EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent \ of Dr. Evans’ Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir—The ( great benefit afforded to my suffering infant by , your Soothing Syrup, in a rase of protracted and ( painful dentition, must convince every feeling pa- ( lent how essential an early' application of such an invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and torture. My infant, when teething, experienced such acute sufferings, that it was attacked with convulsions, and my wife and family supposed th 1 death would soon release the babe trom anguish, till we procured a bottle of your Syrup; which as ( soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change , was produced, and after a few applications the child displayed obvious relief, and by continuing in , its use, lam glad to inform you the child has com- . pletely recovered, and no recurrence of that awful complaint has since occurred; the teeth arc etna* j nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health. I give you my cheerful permission to make this acknowledgment public, andwill gladly give any information on this circumsts nee. WM. JOHNSON.
