Tti E passage of the TVetli through the
gums produces troublesome and dan
gerous symptoms. It is known by moth
ers Uint there is great irritation in the
jmouth and gutns during this process. The
Igums swell, the secretion of saliva is in
creased, the child is seized with frequent
and sudden fits of crying, watchings, start
ing in the sleep, and sp isms of peculiai
parts, 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

have their little babes afllictcd with these
distressing symptoms, would apply Ur.
William Kvans's Celebrated Soothing
Syrup, which has preserved hundreds of
infants when thought past recovery, from
being suddenly attacked with that fatal
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
jwithout the Syrup in the nursery where
there are young children; for it a child
wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
the Syrup immediately gives ease by open
ing the pores and healing the gums; there
by preventing Convulsions, Fevers. &r.
1 To the Agent of Dr. Evans' Soothinc
Syrup: Dear Sir The great benefit
afforded to my suffering infant by your
Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted
and painful dentition, must convince every
feeling pi rent how essential an early ap
plication nf such an invaluable medicine
is to relieve infant misery and torture. M
Infant, while teething, experienced such
acute sufferings, that it was attacked with
convulsions, and my wife and family sup
posed that death would soon release the
babe from anguish till we procured a bot
tle of your Syrup; which as soon as ap
plied to the gums a wonderful change wa
produced, and after a few applications the
child displayed obvious relief, and by con
tinuing in its use. I am glad to inform
you, the child has completely recovered,
imd no recurrence of that awful complaint
as since occurred; the teeth are emana
ting daily and the child enjoys perfeel
health. I give you my cheerful permission
to make this acknowledgment public, and
ill gladly give any information on this
Circumstance.
a When children begin to be in pain with
their teeth, shooting in their gums, put a
fiule of the Syrup in a tea spoon, and
with the finger let the child's gums be
rubbed for two or three minutes, three
Times a d .v. It must not be put to the
broast immediately, for the milk would
take the syrup ofT loo soon. When the
teeth are just coming through their gums,
mothers should immediately apply ,e sv'
p; it will prevent the children having a
fever,a,id mHerg-ing that painful opera

Kei the tooih much harder to Co,e

Prestation for fraud on the ballot
box, by the Federal party in Ohio. A
detected secret circular of the Central Com
mittee of the Federal party at Columbus,
just published in the Ohio Statesman,
shows that previously to the spring elec
tions, they had concerted to get the judges
of the election appointed altogether front
the ranks of Federalism, upon the ground
that '-it is incumbent on Us (the Feds) to
put the power of judging in such hands, as
will insure its honest exercise l" Every
man must be sensible that to insure a fair
election, the presiding officers at the polls
ought to be selected from each party. This
is always done where fairness is meant.
In Pennsylvania the law has been recently
altered by the Democratic majority, so as
to secure the tight of each party to have a
functionary at the polls to guard against
frauds; and yet we find the instruments of
the same party, in Ohio, which committed
the late outrage! on the right of suffrage in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, through
their election officers, sustained by their
Governors, Ritnerand Pennington, secret,
ly conspiring to get compUte command of
the polls, to "prevent (says the secret cirt ,
cular of ihe Federal Central Committee of
Ohio) the repetition of secret frauds, as we
have too much reason to believe they have -heielofore
been perpetrated by our politi
cal opponents' The attempt to gel oil
the judges, by the party eonvicted by Con
gress of the grossest frauds, during the la.-t
year's elections, and which had almost pro
duced civil war, is proof that they medi .
tate carrying the Presidency itself by frfud
on the ballot boxes, and that they were re
solved that no Democrat should be present
as an officer to watch them, and give the
alarm to the people. To cover their de .
sign, they begin by accusing their oppo
ileitis of fraud I Globe.
