In the beginning of May last, my three

common fever, as / then supposed but was
soon convinced the disorder was caused by
worms They were frequently troubled with
eonvulsion fits, and violent startlngs In their
sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and
purging. particularly the youngest, made
s immediate application to a physician OF the
!. first reputation, and his medicines were adj
ministered with COAT, ence oil success, which
only increased our Disappointment. The
children grew daily worse, and was absolute
ly without hopes OF their recovery. The
youngest soon appeared almost devoid of ami
,snation, and scarcely an inhabiiant Of this
world In this distressing moment was told
That fIamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges
had performed man cures in cases equally
desperate. irnmediately purchased COX,
and gave each of them dose, which IN te"
hours produced the most desirable effects
The eldest voided great number OF very
arge worms, and the second thousands OF
small ones, many OF them not quarter OF an
inch--in the youugest they seemed TO be con-
sumed, and had the appearance of skin and
Shiny matter. repeated tho dose agreeable
to the paper Of directions, and they all speed

they still enjoy, though months have near
