appearance, indicating & storm more dreadful than that which he had resisted. ‘•He prepared to meet it with firmness, but with means entirely inadequate. 'I 0 the advan ■ of numbers, of tactics, of discipline, ano in exhaustible resources, the combiner, despots had secured a faction in the heart of Poland. And, if that country can boast of having produced its Washington, it is disgraced aiso by giving birth to a second Arnold. The day a ; length came which was to decide the tale of a nation and he ro. Heaven, for wise purposes, determined that it should be the last of Polish liberty. It w-as de cided, indeed, before the battle commenced. The traitor Poniski.'Wiio covered with a detachment the advance of the Polish army, abandoned his position to the enemy, and retreated. “ Kosciusko was astonished, but u t dismayed, j The disposition of his army would have done honor to Hannibal. The succeeding conflict was terrible. When the talents of the General could no logger direct the mingled mass of combatants, , the arm of the warrior was brought to the aid ot his soldiers. He performed prodigin of valor. j The fabled prowess of Ajax in defending the j Grecian ships was realized by the PJdish hero. Nor was he badly seconded by his tjoops. As long as his voice cou'd guide, or bis example fire j their valor, they were irresistible. In ids unequal contest Kosciusko was long seen, and finally lost to their view. 4 Hope for a season bade the world farewell. 4 And Freedom shrieked when Kosciusko fell.’ -He fell, covered with wounds, hut still survi ved. A Cossack would have pierced his breast, when an officer interposed. ‘Sutler him to exe cute his purpose,’ said the bleeding hero ; ‘I am the devoted soldier of fny country, and will not survive its liberties.’ The name of Kosciusko st.uck to the heart of the Tartar, Bike that of Marius upon the Cambrian warrioi. Ihe uplift- j ed weapon dropped from his hand. j “Kosciusko was conveyed to the dungeons of | Petersburg!!, ami. to the eternal disgrace ot the Empress Catharine, she made him tup object of | her vengeance, when he could be no longer the object of her tears. Her more generous son re stored him to liberty. The remainder, of his lite has been spent in virtuous retirement. Whilst o in this situation in France, an anecdote is 'elated of him which strongly illustrates the command which his virtues and Iris services hid obtained over the minds of his countrymen. ‘ 4 lu the late invasion of France, some Polish regiments, in the sendee of Russia, passed through the village in which lie lived. Some pillaging of the inhabitants brought Kosciusko from his cottage. ‘When i w’as a Polish sol dier,’ said he, addressing the plunderers, -the pro perty of the peaceful citizen was respected.’— ‘And who art thou,’said an officer, ‘who address es! us with (his tone of authority?’ ‘I am Kos ciusko.’ There was magic in the word. It ran from corps to corps. The march was suspend ed. They gathered around him, and gazed with astonishment and awe upon the mighty ruin he presented. ‘Could it indeed he their hero,’ whose fame was identified with that of their coun try ? A thousand interesting reflections burst upon their minds; they remeinltered h;s patriot ism, his devotion to liberty, his triumphs, and his s glorious fall. Their iron hearts were softened, and the tear of sensibility tiiclked dawn their weather-beaten faces. We can easily conceive, sir what would be the feelings of the hero him self in such a scene. His great heart must have heaved with emotion to find himself once more surrounded by the companions of his glory ; and * that lie would have been upon the point of say ing to them, ‘behold your General, come once more 4 To lead you on to laurel’d victory, 4 To fame, to freedom.’ ‘The delusion could have lasted but for a mo ment. He was himself, alas! a miserable crip ple ; and, for them ! they were no longer the sol diers of liberty, but the instruments ot | unbitious tyranny. Overwhelmed with grief at the reflec tion, he would retire to his cottage, to mourn j afresh over the miseries of his country,. “Such was the man, sir, for whose memory I ! ask from an American Congress a slight tribute of respect. Not. sir, to perpetuate his lame, but our gratitude. His fame will last as long as lib- j erty remains upon the earth ; as long as a votary oilers incense upon her altar, the name of Kos ciusko will be invoked. And if, by the common consent of the world, a temple shall be erected to those who have rendered most service :o man kind—if the statue of our great countryman shall orenpv the place of the ‘Most Worthy,’ th ,t of Kosciusko will be found by his side, and the wreath of laurel will be entwined with the palm of virtue to adorn his brow.” It does not at all detract from the merit of this admirable eulogium on the character of? the gal lant and true-hearted Pole, that Gen. K. did not succeed in his motion. It appeared when the matter came to he examined, that the proposed i proceeding was against precedent, Congress hav ® in therefore, in the case of native officers of equal i rank to Kosciusko, declined adopting similar measures, when proposed. But the Speech is on record, and no one can deprive its author of the merit of a production, of which any living orator might well be proud. • j Balloon Navigation.—We copied from a London paper, some time ago, Mr. Green’s an nouncement of his projected air-vovage from America to Europe, with his reasons tor suppo sing it practicable; the chief of whicn was his firm belief in the existence of a permanent, steady current of wind from West to East, a?; a certain attainable elevation. Mr. Wise, a gentleman not unknown by fame as an ceronaut, has published an article in the Lancaster (Pa.) Intelligencer, avowing his concurrence in Mr. Green’s opinions; and stating some facts in support of them. He says that in nineteen ascensions which he has rn ale. he has always but once four.-: himself in a Westerly current; and that in M;y last he went up from Allentown, with the express inten tion of reaching New York or its immediate vi cinity. At the time of starting the wind was blowing from the North West; but when he had reached a point ntar Trenton, N. J. bv throwing out a quantity ot ballast he gained an elevation at which it was blowing as strongly from the South \\ est. and between the two he was carried due Last with immense velocity. If he had been prompt enough in his management, he has no doubt that he would have reached New York * but as it was, being taken somewhat bv suprise and the movement more rapid than he Vxpeoted, he was carried 15 miles to the South East of New •"York, and there desrended, having travelled 1“0 miles in an hour and twenty minutes. Mr. Wise adds that he has opened a corres pondence with Mr. Green, and hopes to make the Atlantic voyage in company with that veteran boilooner. The Legislature of Massachusetts had under consideration a bill to provide for the safety of steamboat passengers.

Congress. The proceedings of this body coiftinueTo be of a very uninteresting character. At our.last advi ces, the Senate was engaged on the report with regard to the assumption of State debts, and i l was apparent that several Senators were desir- ; ous to deliver speeches. How long this topic { I will occupy their attention, it is impossible to 1 calculate with any degree of certainty. Mr. Buchannan had introduced a measure for the en largement of the specie circulation, by excluding all bills of small denominations. How far the Senator’s project extends, we have not yet seen. But we should suppose in these days of suspen sions and shin plasters, it would require all the ingenuity of the honorable gentleman to enlarge greatly the circulation of specie. Mr. Webster had introduced various memorials, asking Con gress to pass a general Bankrupt law, which he is said to have prefaced with some very effective and pertinent remarks in favor of the prayer of; the memorialists. In the House, the New Jersey question seems i to engross the greatest port ion of their attention and much debate has been elicited on various rno- 1 pons suggested by the committee to whom the j matter was referred. When the proceedings of; either House assume a character of more decided | interest, we shall give them more in detail. .. Extra Jleeting of Council. Saturday Evening, half past 7 o’clock, Feb. 29, 1840, Council met. Present—Aldermen Parish, Dye, Crump, Bish op, Harper, Hitt, Thomas, Jackson, Dortic, Thompson. D’Anlignac. In the absence of the Mayor, M. M. Dye, Esq. : was called to the Chair. | The minutes of the last meeting were read and on motion, that portion of the minutes as relates I to the union of the wharves, be reconsidered, the j question was put, and the yeas and nays were called for and are as follows: Yeas—Crump, D’Antignac, Dortic, Parish. Nays—Harper, Hitt, Thomas, Thompson, Jackson, Bishop. So the motion for re-considr.ration was lost, and the minutes confirmed so far as relates to that subject. The minutes were then continued, and on motion confirmed. The following resolution was offered by Mr* Hilt: i Resolved, That Council will pay Dr. Johnson one hundred dollars for medicine used by him 1 among the destitute sick, during the prevalence the Yellow Fever. The yeas and nays being called for on this re- I solution, they were as foilws: i Yeas—Hilt, Jackson. j Nays—Crump, Harper, Thomas, Thompson, D’Antignac, Bishop, Dortic, Parish. So the resolution was not passed. Mr. Hitt offered the following resolution : Resolved, That the-sum of five dollars be paid to Drs. Robertson and Wilson for each patient the Catholic Hospital, during the late epidemic being for such persons as cannot pay. Mr. Parish offered the following as a substi tute: Resolved, That Drs. Robertson and Wilson each be paid the sum of fifty dollars, for medical attendance, by order of the Mayor, on the desti j tute sick, during the late epidemic. The yeas and nays being demanded on the i substitute, they were as follows: Yeas—Crump, Harper, Thomas, Thompson. D'Antignac, Jackson, Dortic, Parish. Nays—Hitt, Bishop. So the substitute was carried. Mr. D’Antignac offered the following resolu tion, which was passed. Resolved, That the Mayor be authorised to pur chase a boat, if not already done, for the recep tion of ail trash collected from the streets, and that immediately upon the procurement of said boat, all the trash shall be thrown into it. and as il accumulates, it shall be his duty to have the boat carried down the river and emptied, and that trash shall not thereafter be thrown into the river within the corporate limits of the city, under any i pretence whatever. Council then adjourned. S. H. OLIVER, Clerk. Who arktiil Democr ats?— The shallowness of the pretext of identity between the modern loco locos and the democrats of the Jefferson school I and times, is well exposed by the veteran Whig. General Root, in a Ute speech in the New YoiA Senate. We give a short extract : “The rlection of Thomas Jefferson is universal ly recognized as a landmark of Democracy. It was the overthrow of the justly termed Federal Reign of Terror in 1798-9 Now, sir, I perceive that three of the electors of President who then cast the vote of this state for Jefferson still survive, ! (Pierre Van Cortlandt, James Burt and John 1 Woodworth) and need I say they are all Whigs? ' Ofthe Republican Senators es that year who elected these Electors of President but two sur vive, and th y are stiil Democrats in the right sense —still'opposed to the encroachment of I xe cutive Power —-still Democratic Whigs / [General Root proceeded to enumerate the sur viving Democratic Members of the Assembly of 1800 who elected the Jefferson electors of that year—seven in number —six of them Democratic Whigs, and one said by Mr. Young to be a supporter of Martin Van Buren. He concluded.] ‘•The last of thenumber is Erastus Root ot Del aware —and here I am!” The Committee on Banks in the Kentucky Legislature have made their report. It proposes to restore charters to those institutions, w'ith some slight amendments, which had become furfeita hie by their suspension of specie payments, and fixes the time of their resumption on or before the day ofthe meeting of the next Legislature, viz: the first Monday in December. Mh. Clay.—The correspondent of the New York Times speaks of his speech as “ one of the most impassioned and earnest appeals I ever heard from human lips. It must be reported fully . in order to give an adequate notion even of the words. As to the manner, that cannot be reported, alas ! The fl ish of genuine and deep feeling on the check—the beam of emotion from the eye—the thrilling tones ot a voice attuned by nature to the heart of sensibility—the emphasis ot gesture can not be described.” Mr. C. remarked that ho should not bring for ward his land bill again till alter the next census. Total Abstinence Society. The following report of a Committee appoint ed by the above Society to oiler a tribute of res pect to their late President, was ordered to be published, at a meeting held in the Melhodis Church, Friday 28th inst. The Committee appointed to offer a tribute o respect to the memory of Dr. Milton Antony, deceased, late presiding officer of this society, res pectfully report : That in the discharge of the duty assigned them, they fully concur in the opinion, that among the many valuable citizens who fell vie. tims to the prevailing epidemic of last summer and autumn, there was no one whose death niighj more justly be considered a public calamity, than that of Dr. Antony. With a sound and highly cultivated under, standing, and an energy and decision of charac ter seldom equalled. He was ever found the ac tive friend and advocote of science, religion and social order, and the promotion of the best inter ests of his fellow men. As a man, he was mild and courteous in his deportment, and sincere in his friendship. With a highly social disposition, he will long be remembered by those who enjoy ed his society, and knew him best, with feelings of sympathy and regret, for his untimely fate. As a Physician, he was devoted to the science l and practice of his profession, and labored with 1 indfutigable industry to'elevatc the Medical char, actor of his native State, to that position which he felt it ought to occupy. As an evidence of this, we have but to point to the Mediceul Col lege of Georgia as a bright monument of hj s untiring perseverance. Among the many names that have added honor to Ihe profession, that of Dr. Antony will ever retain a distinguished place. At the commencement of the Temperance Reformation, Ur. Antony gave his most active ef forts to the cause, and was mainly instrumental in connexion with some other philanthropic indi" viduals, in forming the first Temperance Society in Augusta. Os that Society, he was the firs 1 President, and continued in that office, with one intermission, up to the formation ol the I o!al Abstinence Society. Many of the friends of Temperance, at that time, thought that a higher stand than the abstaining from Alchaholicdrinks was necessary ; others thought not. A division and the formation of our Society were the con sequence. Dr. Antony was with us, and w r as made our presiding officer. Acting upon his favorite maxim, that “ a vir. tuous will is almost omnipotent,” his zeal in the Temperance cause, from the first effort to the hour of his death, was unabated. He left no means untried, he thought no labor (oo great, to arrest the desolathig evil that carried ruin, tern, poral and eternal, in its train. This uncompromising hostility to intemper ance bound him to us; and we who have labored with him under the most adverse circumstances can more fully estimate the loss that this Society and the cause of Temperance have sustatained. Therefore Resolved, 1 That in the death ofthe late Dr. Antony, this Society have lost a corteous officer and valuable member, and the cause of Temperance an uncompromising friend. 2 That this Society do sympathise with the family and friends of the deceased in their be } w reavement. 3 That the above preamble and resolutions be published, and the Professors of the Medical Col lege be respectfully requested to read them to their classes. J. G. Dun lap, A A. H. Cunningham, C Committe. P. Fleming, j) Public Meeting, At an adjourned meeting of the citizens ol Charleston convened at the City Hall pursuant to notice, the meeting was organized by the Hon. H. L. Pinckney, Mayor of the City, taking the Chair, and C. B. Northiop, appointed Secreta ry. The Committee, composed of the following gentlemen, James Rose, H. L. Pinckney, Tris°- tram Topper, F. H. Elmore, Esqts. and Dr. Men denhall, submitted through their Chairman, the Hon. Thomas iiennet, the following Report and Resolutions, were unanimouly adopted. Report. That they have conferred generally with Mr. Shultz, on the various topics which relate to tne causes practically obstructing the growth of Ham burg. anti incidentally affecting the interests and trade of Charleston; and are of opinion that they may be remedied, and that a course of op erations can be devised, which, when matured and consummated by experience, will be prosecuted and sustained by public opinion. To buiid up and establisn a Town under the most favoring auspices, is an Herculean labor in volving great hazard. Such an enterprise d'- mands tor its succcessful accomplishment, a com bination of talent, an unison of interests,’ t .nd a command of capital, which can but rarelv be in- ..I 1 vested in such undertakings. To attempt theie ! fore a work of such magnitude, in the immediate j pre.-enr.e of, and in direct competition with the I commercial energies of a long established and | ■ flourishing city, and in the moment of a splendid and succe.-sful career, by a single individual si rug- : gling with misfortune, opposed by the power of | wealth and influence, and the great variety of in- i j terests. his success would probably invade or im- j pair—indicates a mind of no ordinary activity ; and enterprise, and of enduring perseverance. 1 Mr. Shultz has effected this work. He has achieved as much under such detening circum stances, as could have been accomplished—and : having placed his town oh a respectable footing, I claims from Charleston no other aid than her own ; interests suggests. He represents to your.committee that the city | of Augusta, possesses every facility of advancing schemes of the most extensive mercantile trans actions —combines with the high influence of this condition, an extensive control of the means of communication from one side of the river to the other—and, as an inducement to the Planters of South Carolina to trade in her market, gives a free use of her bridges, to all who may cross with tiieir produce to Augusta. With, large capital ! and more varied and extensive stocks ot merchan dise —her merchants are farther aided by large emissions of paper from the Georgia Banks, ; which, emanating from sources irresponsible to ns, circulates at a considerable depreciated value. ; This paper occupies within our own slate a very I extended field of circulation, and as well trom the j puolic necessities as the contracted action ot our | own banks, will long, If not permanently supply | the demand of the whole interior counliy, there- I by rendering our own citizens tributary to the banks of Georgia, loan amount greatly exceed ing the interest of the sum thus circulated. W ith i such advantages, Augusta commands a very large poitiou, not only of the interior trade of the State of Georgia, hut of South Carolina —and with a commendable State pride, yields to Savan nah the tribute of her best success. In ail this, your committee can discern nothing for complaint or censure. In the race of commercial t nterprise and adventure, Augusta is now bold and active and consequently more successful—and if from South Carolina can derive the means of advan cing the interest of the Emporium of her own State, she does no more than the attachment ot our own merchants would induce them to do for Charleston. Her course is fair and honourable, and should stimulate us to a competition, she neither deprecates, nor fears, and to which her success invites us. It is more difficult to devise a remedy for, than to trace the causes of our limited share in the bu siness of the interior of these two States. The relative positions occupied by the Banks of Georgia and of this Stale, furnish causes for the j apprehension that no effectual remedy could heat | once applied. The bills of the Georgia Banks i are even in the city oi Augusta—as 100 to 91 or 5 of the Banks of South Carolina, and a much greater depreciation must nece-sarily result from the opposing policy of the Banks in these re spective States. With a depreciated currency, a sound curren cy cannot co exist—for if the former he sustain ed by public opinion, the latter must retire. The governing impulses of individual interest and that spirit of cupidity which enters largely into the I common transactions of life, alike forbid it. The Planter who receives a half cent mote for his Colton,because the currency in which he is p id is of intrinsically less value, than it represents, will not if it serve to the full amount ofthe value i it represents to pay his debts and procure the us ual supplies for his family and plantation, con sent to exchange it at a loss ofs or 6 percent for the bills of other Banks, or even for specie, for the same uses. Nor will he take home with him either ofthe latter commodities (for under such circumstances both are commodities) if by ex j changing them, he can procure a larger amount of money that will answer all his personal, and 1 domestic necessities. From these and various ; other causes, hills of par value, will not be receiv ed into ihe genera! circulation, but returned as | rapidly as they appear upon the Banks that issue ; them—while a base and depreciated currency 1 will through conventional obligations or of ne cessity continue to occupy its sphere of circula- I tion. At Augusta, therefore, the largest interior mart | for the produce of these States, the dcprec ated ! hills of both will be most likely to concentrate— and in a steady and uniform current exists the I pernicious in uence aserbed to them ; nor can it : lie arrested but by legislatve action or the slower \ process of commercial operations. These are in chief the causes to which Mr. iSchultz refers, that obstruct the trade between Gharleston and Hamburg, and direct its course to Augusta and Savannah, in direct opposition to the manifest and numerous advantages which the former holds out. And as remedial ol the ; evils they enflict, he proposes that the Directors of the Railroad Company, should at once proceed to construct on their lands in the Town of Ham burg extensive warehouses capable of receiving from 20 to 25 thousand hales of cotton, or in the event of their refusing to do so, that he would lease their lands and construct such an establish ment at his own private cost —and wffien com pleted, to he organised by the Board of Directors, in such manner as to effect the most perfect secu rity to the interests of those who may hereafter he engaged under the following arrangement: To establish agencies in the town of Hamburg, by the Banks ot this State, or companies of individ uals, interested in the prosperity of Charleston, Hamburg, and of the State generally That such agents should he supplied with adequate credit or sums of money for the purchase of all the Cotton , that may be offered at Hamburg—md fully an j thqrised to advance on such purchase, a sum ■ equal to three-fourths or four-filths of the actual : value of such cotton. Such advances to be made j | only, on the presentation of a ticket or certificate | , from the Superintendant of the ware-house—in i ! which he shall represent that the cotton has been actually delivered at the ware-house, and is in his i i keeping—and also the number of bales, weight, ' and quality of the cotton. On the delivery of which ticket, by the holder or owner of the cot ton, and a draught on his factor, agent, or friend in Charleston, advances in the proportion stated | shall be made, to the purchaser or owner of such I cotton. | The Railroad Company to have the right of j charging the usual rates of storage—the transpor tation, and all incidental expenses to be incurred 1 in the management and safe keeping of such de posites of cotton, and to be accountable for the delivery of the several parcels to their respective consigness; but no delivery shall take place or be make at the Charleston ware-houses, until the whole amount of the expenses incurred he fully paid, and the ticket or certificate given by the Superintendant at Hamburg be delivered to the i Superintendant ac • harleston. In addition to the present means of transportation by the Rail i r °ad, Mr. Schultz proposes the establishment of a line of boats to be exclusively employed in the transportation of produce on the Savannah river and to Charleston-—this latter establishment to organize its own plan of operations, and be re sponsible for the delivery of all the cotton receiv ed on freight rom the ware-houses in Hamburg to the Superintendant of the Railroad Company”* ware-houses in Charleston, subject to the rules and conditions previously stated. The most cursory view of this project, as here stated, will sugge-t the omission of details all df which must flow from the combined counsels of 1 the several purges interested. The general out line is all that is required, in a report like this and which, in the opinion of your Committee, pre sents features of a bold And striking character • essentially plausible, and apparently advantage’ i V • . otia to the interests of the State generally—of the city of Charleston, and town of Hamburg, and to those more immediately interested in the enter prise. It is not only feasible, but eommeftds it ; ijelf to acceptance from the immense interests in- I volved —interests essentially our own, and which | may eventually be lost, through our supineness i or negloct. * - j The present moment is not however auspi- I cious to the creation or direction of capital, to need j any extensive enterprises, though sin pie in exe t cution, and certain in their results. The high | value of money arising from the extreme scarcity j of, and general demand for it—the deep obliga j tions which restrain and fetter the issues of our I Banks, and the increasing obscurity and great I uncertainty which shadows our monetary system generally, admonish to the utmost caution. In deed the general pressure is at this moment so se vere, that your Committee would pause in advan cing any efforts for the immediate consummation of the design—and ail these motives require addi tional force, when it is recollected how futile the effort would be to attempt to force a circulation ot the bills of (tanks at par value, into an atmos phere tainted by an unsound and helcrogenious currency. On the other hand, your Committee would as sert for Mr. Shultz, a title to great public consid eration and respect—claims which will he readily and cheerfully conceded to him, when it is recol lected that in 1831, the present town, or rather , (site) of Hamburg was valued at no more than >7OO, and with scarcely a sufficient trade for the decent support of a single family, from which condition, and chiefly through his individual ex ertions, a town f.as been built up : the assessed value of the Real Estate in which, approaches to 400,000; pays annually into the coffers of the State, a tax exceeding fourteen hundred dollars, and transacts a commercial business requiring a capital of nearly two million dollars. From lefty to sixty thousand bales of cotton are received through each season at Hamburgh, illustrating the truth that additional capital only is required to consummate the most sanguine anticipations of its founder. Should the fostering care of our own city be extended on the conditions on which it is now asked, an exhibit, would, in a very few years, be presented, which would conclusively es ablish the fact, that an union of efforts and counsels would greatly advance the interests both of Charleston and Hamburgh. W ith these im pressions, your Committee respectfully submit the following Resolutions: Resolved, That it be recoram.mded to the ( Board of Direc tors of the South Carolina Canal and Rail Road Company, to consider the expe diency of establishing, with the least practicable delay, capacious ware houses, both in Chaileston and Hamburg, in furtherance of the measures suggested in this report. Resolved, That it be recommended to the sev eral Banks of this State, to take this subject into consideration, and if consistent with their inter ests, io establish Branches or Agencies at Ham burgh, with a view to aid in the object proposed. Resolved, That we do recommend to those of our Fellow-Citizens, who may be disposed to make partial investments of their capital, to take the several matters contained in this Report in»o their serious consideration, and particularly so much of it as refers to a line of water communi cation. in aid of the means of transportation offer ed by the Rail Road.

Ihe market since our last report has remained in a very inactive state, with but little prospectof any material change, until the receipt oflatci intelligence from Europe, which is daily expected. The quantity arriving is quite 1 mited and but little changes hands at present prices, hol ders do not manifest a disposition to sell generally and buyers seemed quite indifferent as to purcha ses. Many planters come to the city and go away without selling,indulging the hope that the market will be in a better state before the market closes.

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 it. A lien 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 all diseases of children, PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF Dr. EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent of Dr. Evans’ Soothing Syrup : Dear Sir—The treat benefit afforded to my suffering infant by four Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and lainful dentition, must convince every feeling pa ent how essential an early application of surb an ivaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and arture. My infant, when teetiiing, experienced mch acute sufferings, that it was attacked with convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that death would soon release the babe Hum anguish, till we procured a bottle of your Syrup; which as soon as applied to the gums, a wonder fu , mange was produced, and after a few applications the child displayed obvious relief, and by continuing in its use, I am glad to inform you the child has com pletely7 recovered, and no recurrence of that awful complaint has since occurred; the teeth are_ema nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health. 1 give you my cheerful permission to make this acknowledgment public, andwill gladly give any information on this circumsU nee.
