ETA NS' CELEBRATED SOOTHING SYRUP, for Children. Catling 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 ipd so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its kums be rubbed with it. When infants are at the ag| of four months, though there is no appearance of J/cth, one bottle of the Syrup should be used on ITe gums, to open the ! pores. Parents should nevpi he without the Syrup in the nursery where the re; are young children ; for if a child wakes in thenigbjt with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the pores and healing the gmis; thereby preventing convulsions, fevers, &c. /-old only at Dr. IVhi. j Evans' Medical Ojflce, 100 ’Chatham street, New I York, where the Doctor may be consulted on all diseases of children. PROOF POSITIVE O/l THE EFFICACY OF Dr. EVANS' SOOTHING IS ¥ll UP. —To the Agent of Dr. Evans' Soothing Ujrup: Dear Sir—The ' rioat benefit afforded to jmy suffering infant by I ’our Soothing Syrup, in a/.se of protracted and j >ainful dentition, must convince every feeling pa- ; eat how essential an enrlyj Application of such an | ; u aluablc medicine is to n| .eve Infant misery and . arture. My infant, when* teething, experienced :iuch acute sufferings, that jit: was attacked wil , convulsions, and my wife a'nci family supposed that death would soon release the babe from anguish, till we procured a bottle off your Syrnp ; which as soon as applied to the gunjis, a wonderful change was produced, and after a| lew applications the child displayed obvious relict', and by continuing in its use, 1 am glad to inform you the child lias 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. 1 give you my cheerful permission to make this acknowledgment public, a id will gladly give any information on tins cucuras t; nee.
