voluntarily maketh oath iat the following
statements is Just and true:
In the beginning of May last, my three
children, a boy of seven, AMI two girls the one
FIVE, and the other three years OF age were
taken very i'll, nearly at the same time, OF
common fever, as l then supposed but was
soon convinced the disorder was caused by
worms. They were frequently troubled with
CONFUSION fits, and violent startings IN their
sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and
pureing, particularly the youngest. made
Immediate application to physician OF the
first reputation, and his medicines were adj
ministercd with conh ence OF success, which
only increased our disappointment. The
children grew daily worse, and was absolute
" without hopes of their recovery. The
Youngest soon appeared almost devoid oil sni-
nlation, and scarcely an lnhablisnt oil tins
world In this distressing moment | MAS told
that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozen!;es
had performed many cures in cases equally
desperate. l Immediately purchased bHx,
and gave each of them dose, Which in tew
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 quartet OF an
inch--in the youngest they seemed to be con-
sumed, and had the appearance OF skin and
Shiny matter. ! repeated the dose agreeable
to the paper Of directions, and they all speed
lily recovered good state of health, which
they still enjoy, Thoughts months have near
ly elapsed, since they were on the borders OF
the grave, and the death OF the whole seemed
to be inevitable.
