WORMS which infeft the human body, are chiefly of four kinds,
viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Afcarides, or small
maw worm, the Cucurbitini, or Ihort, stat, white worm ; and
lastly, the Taenia or tape worm, so called from its resemblance
to tape—this is often many yards long, and is full ofjoints—it is
most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, arc. disagreeable
breath, especially in the morning ; bad and corrupted gums—
itching in the nose and about the feat—convutfions and epileptic
fits, and sometimes privation of Speech—Starting, and grinding
of the teeth in deep—irregular appetite, Sometimes loathing food,
and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and foetid stools—
Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stom
ach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow
fever, with Small and irregular pulfc—A dry cough—Excessive
third—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and some
times the face bloated and flushed.
Perlons affliaed z with any of the above symptoms, mould have
immediate recourse to Hamilton's Worm-Dflroymg lozenges, whicli
have been constantly attended with Success in all complaints
Similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm
season, will effectually prevent the “ vomiting and purging of
children '' a dreadful difbrdcr which annually destroys thousands
of the infant part of our citizens. It is likewise the mildest and
and most certain remedy known, and has restored to health and
ftrengh a great number when in an advanced flage of this fatal
complaint—particular and plain inftrudions are given for every
part of the necessary treatment in such cases,
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness having a
pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Innkeeper on the Hartford road, ten
miles from Baltimore, began about la months ago to be grievoufiy
afflicted with a tape worm, which increased faft in lize and
Strength. so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing
motions, and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tear
ing of the bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep,
and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived
but by one in a similar firuation—his appetite wafted rapidly,
and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to a
ny bufineft—when he heard of some excellent cures performed
b r Hamilton's worm-lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought
away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (note in the peffion of
lee ^ CoJ —but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that
this monstrous reptile had recovered his firft vigour—Application
was made to Lee & Co, for more of their medicine, with their
advice —from which refused the total expnlfion of his formida
ble enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or
EIGHT YARDS more. A few weeks have since elapsed, and
Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above faffs are well
known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himfelf will
gratify any who may with to make further enquiries on the fub
jett Although Hamilton's worm-lozenges produce such power
fill effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and
mild in their operation, on the human body, even when taken in
large doses, as Mr. Fnller will teftify—their peculiar mildness is
abundantly evident in the cures of infants already publiihed.

Some may be Surprised that tliis medicine should be prescribed
with equ 1 fyccefs in such a variety of Cases, but this furprize
will ceafc when it is recofeaed, that all those complaints rcfult

THIS medicine bears no analogy whatever to others of firn

bowels of whatever is foul or offenfive, and thereby prevent the
production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are partic
ularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humours and irruptions ;
feverifh and bilious complaints, and are the fafeft and mildest
purgative that can be used on any occafiou.

Jof the disorder, the symptoms are of courfc effectually 4 and per
manently conquered, the reverse of common medicines which
weaken the constitution and give strength to the disorder, for
the fake of moderating for the present some of its painful effects.
Mr. Abijah Henly, bridge-street, Baltimore, was cured by one
bottle of Hamilton's Elixir, of a very complicated disorder occa
iioned by a cold caught several months before—He breathed with
the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening
sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice
would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only at
tempt to whisper , he has been upwards of fix weeks without a
return of his complaints, and desires to give his public tellimony
in favor of this invaluable medicine.
Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, South Howard street, was greatly reliev
ed of an aftmatic complaint of several years Handing, by the firft
bottle of Hamilton's Elixir—and by the use of five bottles the has
acquired a degree of case and strength to which the has long been
a flranger. She had taken halfam of honey. Church's cough
drops, and other medicines, without any benefit, and sometimes
to the evident injury of her breathing.
This difeovery is of the firtt magnitude, as it affords immediate
relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes
the most cruel disorder to which children are liable, the Elixir is
so perfedly agreeable and the dofc so small that no difficulty a
rises in taking it.
Which the inventor confidently recommends as an invaluable
medicine for the speedy relief, and permanent cure of various
complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, jnvenal indis
cretions, refidcnce in climates unfavourable to the constitutions,
the immoderate life of tea, frequent intoxication, or any de
ftrudive intemperance, the unskilful or excessive use of mercury,
the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life, badly
ings in &c. and is proved by long and extensive experience, to
be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, con
sumptions, lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the
blood, hysterical affections, inward weaknesses, violent cramps in
