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 so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with ii. 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. Wm. Evans' Medical Office, 100 Chatham street. New York, where the Doctor maybe consulted on ail diseases of children. PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF Dr. EVANS' SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent of Dr. Evans' Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir —The jreat benefit afforded to my suffering infant by mur Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and lainfui dentition, must convince every feeling pa ent how essential an early' application of such an ivaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and arture. My infant, when teething, experienced inch acute sulterings, that it was attacked witli convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that death would soon release the babe from anguish, ti’ I 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 chdd displayed obvious relief, and by continuing in its use, 1 am 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, andwill gladly give any information on this c ire urns t; nee. WM. JOHNSON.

BOND, one of the compositors in the office of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, who had lost nearly all his hair from off the top of his head, has had it completely restored by the use of this Tonic. Two officers of the Americaja Navy had good heads of hair restored to them by using five bottles each of this Hair Tonic, one of whom was over sixty years of age. Four gentlemen connect ed with the public press in Philadelphia, have also had their baldness removed by using this remedy. The Rev. Mr. Parker, Pastor of khe Presbyterian Church in Delaware county, Pa., who was com pletely bald over all the top of his head, and was also becoming considerably gray, ha® used only two bottles of this Tonic, and has not only a luxuriant growth of new hair upon his head, but all the gray hairs have disappeared, and their places have been supplied by healthy hair, of a natural color. Fi nally, nine cases of baldness o jt of every ten may positively be temoved by a faithful application of this valuable remedy. There is, therefore, now no excuse for a bald head. This valuable remedy for the growth, preserva tion, and restoration of the Hair, can be obtained wholesale and retail, from WILLIAM K.
