DR I V. EVANS' CELEBRATED SOOiHL|G
SYRUP,for Children Cutting their Teeth.— Tlis
infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of dvl
dren, when thought past recovery, from convul
sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on >'.e
gums, the child will recover. The preparationcis
so innocent, so efficacious and se pleasant, that *io
child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with A.
When infants are at the age of four months, though
there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the
pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup
in the nursery where there are young children ; 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. IVtn.

York, where the Doctor may be consulted on Jill
diseases of children. |
PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF
Dr. EVANS' SOOTHING SYRUP—To the Agent
of Dr. Evans' Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir—The
great benefit arlorded to my suffering infant by
your Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and
painful dentition, must convince every feeling pa
lenthow 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 tint
death would soon release the babe from anguish,
till we procured a bottle of your Syrnp; 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 continuiug 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 are ema
nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health.
I give you my cheerful permission to make this
acknowledgment public, andwiil gladly give any
information on this circumst; nee.

contracting any debts without an express order from
their parents, or those under whose care the}' ma
be placed.
All parents and guardians patronizing this insti
tution, are earnestly requested to furnish their
daughters or wards with plain and substantial
clothing, as all extravagance in dress will be dis
countenanced by the teachers and trustees.
Additions are making to the buildings on the

boarders, under the immediate care of the teachers.
