DIR. HUNTS BOTANIC PILLS.

In the midst ofa general and in many in
stances not unfounded prejudice against many
Of the medical remedies Of the day, DIR.
HUNTS BOTANIC PILLS have the envia-
BILE distinction of universal appreciation. They
are perhaps the only medicine, publicly adver-
tised that has the full and unresered testimony
OF medical men in its favor, # not the only one
which gives full satisfaction to its purchases.
Dr. Hunt has the satisfaction Of knowing, that
his Pills are not only recommended and pre-
scribed by the most experienced physicians
10 their daily practice, but also taken By those
gentlemen themselves, whenever they feel the
symptoms Of those diseases in which they well
know them to be efficacious. He knows this
to be generally the case in New YORK. Pbila.
delphia. Albany, Boston, and ether large cit
les. in which they have an extensive sale.
That they should thus conquer professional
prejudice and interested opposition. and Sc.
cure the agency Of th. most eminent aud best
informed physicians 10 the country to render
tLem useful 10 all classes, can oHly be fairly
zseribed to their undeuisblc and pre-emine6 o,
virtues.
Enviable. however. as this distinction Is. Il
can easily be accouuied Tor from the intrinsic
and peculiar properties Of the medicine itself.
IL does not pretend to too much. and u accom-
Plishes all it promises. Dr. Hunt does no,
pretess, for instance, that his Pills will cure
al diseases BY s-.l. purif,ia. the sloss; sat

SOOTHING SYRUP,
TO MOTHERS AND NURSES.
FOR CHILDREN TEETHING.
Prepared by himself.

The passage Of the Teeth through the gums
produces troublesome and dangerous symptoms.
Ii is known by mothers that there is great irrl-
tation in the mouth and gums during this pro-
cess. The gums swell, the secretion Of saliva
is increased, the child is seized with frequent
and sudden fits Of crying, watching, starting in
the sleep, aud spasms Of peculiar parts; the
child shrieks with extreme violence, and ihrusts
its fingers into its mouth. II these precursory
symptoms are not speedily alieyiated, spasmod-
ic convuIsions universally superene, and soon
cause the dissolution Of the infant. IL moth
ers have their little babes afflicted with these
distressing symptoms, they should apply DIR.
