An 19th century advertisement extols Dr Evans Soothing Syrup for teething pain in infants. It describes gums swelling and convulsions from dentition, promises rapid relief after rubbing on gums, and urges parents to keep the syrup in the nursery. It quotes a testimonial from a father about a recovering infant and lists regular agents across cities.
The speech argues for increasing Bank of the State and Cape Fear capital to one million each, with the state transferring Cherokee bonds to back loans to Wilmington Raleigh and Raleigh Gaston Rail Roads.
