A remedy, the efficacy of w hich has been

those who have been subjected to this
disease, it w ill prove, if applied when re

Is no longer a matter of doubt, as a refer
ence to the experience of many thousand
patients will satisfactorily prove. During
the present month alone, nearly one hun
dred cases hav2 come lo the knowledge of
Mr. Moffatl, where the patient has, to all
appearance, effected a permanent cure by
ihe exclusive and judicious use of ihe Life
medicines some eiht or ten of these had
been considered beyond all hope by their
medical attendants. Such happy results
are a source of great pleasure to Mr. M.
and inspire him with new confidence to re
commend the use of his medicines to his
fellow citizens.
The JLifc Medicines
Area purely VEGETABLE preparation.
They are mild and pleasant in their ope
ration, ami at the same tune thorough
acting rapidly upon the secretions of the
system carrying off all acrimonious hu
mors, and assimilating with and purifying
ihe blood. I1 or this reason, in aggravated
cases of Dyspepsia, the Life medicines w ill
give relief in a shorter space of lime than
any other prescription. In Fever & ague,
Inflammatory rheumatism, r evers ol every
description, sick head at he, heart-burn,
Dizziness in the head, pains in the chest,
Flatulency, impaired appetite, and in eve
ry disease arising from an impurity of the
blood, or a disordered slate of ihe stom
ach, the use of these medicines has always
proved lo he beyond doubt, greatly supe
rior lo any other mode of treatment.
All that Mr. Moti.il ask ol his patients
is, lo be particular in taking iheni strictly
according to the directions. Il is not by
a newspaper notice, or by any thing that
he himself mav say in their favor, thai he
hopes to gain credit. It is alone by the
results of a fair trial. Is the reader an in
valid, and does he wish to know whether
the Life medicines will suit his own case?
If so, let him call or send lo Mr. Moffat'
agenl in this place, and procure a copy of
tbe Medical Manual, designed as a Domes
tic Guide to Health, published gratuitous
ly. He will there find enumerated very
many extraordinary cases of curef and
perhaps some exactly similar lo his own!

SOOTHING SYRUP
For children Teething,
PREPARED BY HIMSELF.
T o Mothers and jYurses.
Hp H E 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 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, starl
ing in the sleep, and spasms of peculiar
pans, the child shrieks with extreme vio
lence, and thrusts its fingers into its mouth.
Iflhese precursory symptoms are noi spee
dily alleviated, spasmodic convulsions uni
versally supervene, and soon cause the
dissolution of the infant. If mothers win,
have their little babes afHicled witlii these
distressing symptoms, would apply -Dr.
William Kvans's Celebrated Soihin?
Syrup, which has preserved hundreds of
infants when thought past.recoveryj from
being suddenly attacked with thai 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 cf 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,
ihe Syrup irnmedhiiely givesease by open
ing the pores and healing the gums; there
by preventing Convulsions, Fevers, he.
To the Agenl of Dr. Kvans' Soothing
Syrup: Dear Sir The great hem fit
afforded to my suffering infant by your
Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted
and painful dentition, must convince every
teeling parent now essential an earlv ap
plication of such an invaluable medicine
is to relieve infant misery and torture. .My
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 hot
lie of your Syrnp; which as soon as ap
plied to ihe gums a wonderful change wa
produced, and after a few applications the
child displayed obvious relief, and by con
linuing in its use. I am glad lo 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
their teeth, shooting in iheir 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
times a day. It must not be put to the
breast immediately, for the milk would
take the syrup oil too soon. When the
teeth are just coming through their gums,
mothers should immediately apply the sy
rup; it will prevent ihe children having a
fever, and undergoing that painful opera
tion of lancing the gums, which always
makes the tooih much harder to come
through, and sometimes causes death.

TWi 11 ERE are many family medicines

from their intrinsic virtues have justly
gained the confidence and gratitude of

in the scale of curative merit, Dr. H arrell's
Tomato and Slippery Elm Pills stand
pre-eminently above them all; nor is any
apology offered for taking this high
ground, unless it is the fact of their supe-
perior, and almost miraculous effects in tbe
cure of diseases. They produce, when ta

they stand at the head of all other prepar
