To Mothers and Xurses. j IHE passage of the Teeth through the gums produces troublesome and dan gerous symptoms. It is Known uy moth ers that there is great irritation in the mouth and gums during this process. The gums swell, the secretion of saliva is in creased, the child is seized with frequent and sudden fits of crying, watchings, start iug in the sleep, and spasms of peculiar 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 dissolution of tlreinlant. If mothers who have their little babes adlirted wiili these fJijtressmK symptoms, would apply Dr. William Evans's Celebrated Soothing Syrup, which has preserved hundreds of infants when thought past recovery, from being 6uddenly 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 goms, the child will recover. This preparation is so in nocent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that no child will refuse lo 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 immediately gives easfc by ripen ing the pores and healing the gums; there by preventing Convulsions, Fevers, Sic. To the Agent of Dr. Evans Soothing Syrups Dear Sir The great benefit afforded lo 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 is to relieve infant misery and torture. M v 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 was 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, and no recurrence of that awful complaint has since occurred; the teeth are emana ting daily and the child enjoys perfect health. I giveyou 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 iheir 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 nibbed 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 teeth are just coming through their gums', mowers snouia immediately apply the sy rup; it will prevent the children having a fever, and undergoing iliat painful opera tion of lancing the gums, which always "lakes the tooth much harder to come through, and sometimes causes death. ttcwarc of Counterfeits. jCau(io:i' Be particular in purcha sing to obtain fr at 100 Chatham St., New York, or from the REGULAR AGENTS. 4 J.
