TUE passage of the Teeth through the gums produces troublesome and dan gerous symptoms. It is known by moth ers that there is great irritation in the mouth and gums dining this process. The gums swell, the secretion of saliva is in creased, the child is seized with frequent and sudden fits of crying, watchiugs, start ing in the sleep, and spasms of peculiar pari?, the child shrieks with extreme vio lence, and thrusts its fingers into its mouth. If these precursory symptoms are not spee dily alleviated, spasmodic convulsions uni versally supervene, and soon cause the dissolution of the infant. If mothers who have their little babes afflicted with these . i j i . i distresson: symptoms, woum appiy ur WiUiam Evans's Celebrated Sooihinir Syrup, which has preserved hundreds of infants when thought past recovery, from being suddenly attacked with that lata! malady, convulsions. This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of Children, when thought past recovery, from convulsions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. This preparation is so in nocent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it. When infants are at the age of four months, though there is no ap pearance 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 -oil wakes in the night with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediaiely givesease by open- ing the pores and healing the gums; there by preventing Convulsions, Fevers. &ic.

When the teeth are just coming through their gums, mothers should immediately apply ihe s rup; it will prevent the children having a fever, and undergoing that painful opera lln of lancing the gums, which always makes the tooth much harder to come trough, and sometimes causes death.
