THE passage of the Teeth through the
j gums produces troublesome ami dau
fgerous symptoms. Il is known by moih
ers that there is great irritation in the
?moulh and gums during this process. The
gums swell, the secretion of saliva is in
jcreased, the child is seized with frequent
and sudden fits of crying, watchings, start
ing in the sleep, and spasms of peculiai
'partSj
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
" versallv supervene, and soon cause the
'dissolution of the infant. If mothers who
have their little babes afiliclcd with these
distressing symptoms, would apply Ur.
William Evans's Celebrated Soothing
'Syrup, which has preserved hundreds of
infants when thought past recovery, from
ibeing suddenly attacked with that fatal
I malady, convulsions.
J This infallible remedy has preserved
I hundreds of Children, w hen thought past
? recovery, from convulsions. As soon as
j 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
wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
the Syrup immediaiely givesease by opeu
! ing the pores and healing the gums; there
I by preventing Convulsions, Fevers, &
To the Agent of Dr. Fvans' Soothing
Syrup: Dear Sir The pi eat benefit
afforded to my suffering infant by your
Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted
and painful dentition, must convince every
feeling parent how essential an early ap
plication of such an invaluable medicine
t is to relieve infant misery fit;d torture. "S
infant, while teething, experienced such
acute sufferings, that it was attacked w ilk
convulsions, and my wife and family sup
posed that death would soon release the
babe from anguish till we procured a bol-
' tie of your Syrup; which as soon as ap
plied to the gums a wonderful change was
produced, and after a few applications the
child displayed obvious relief, and by ron
tinuim? in its use. I am clad to inform

has since occurred; the teeth are emana
ting daily and the child enjoys perfect
; health. I give you my cheerful permission
to make this acknowledgment public, and
will gladly give any information on this
circumstance.
When children begin to be in pain with
their teeth, shooting in their gums, put a
little of the Syrup in a tea-spoon, and
with the finger let the child's gums be
rubbed for two or three minutes, three
limes a day. It must not be put to the
breast immediately, for the milk would
take the syrup off too soon. When the
I teeth are just coming through their gums,
j mothers should immediately apply the sy
I rup; it will prevent the children having a
fever, and undergoing that painful opera
tion of lancing the gums, which always
. makes the tooth much harder to come
I through, and sometimes causes death.
