his breath foetid, and almost constant itching

symptoms: During the course OF the above
period, the advice and attendance OF three OF
the most eminen: physicians in Baltimore
were successfully procured. Each OF these
gentlemen, in his turn, declared worms taee
the cause of the child's disorder, and exhaust

dicines, were administered without the least
success, 1t was once pronounced lmposslDle

highly of so cheap medicine, until a gentle
man of my acquaintance tMr. WINS. Moore,

used with good cffeet, advised me to make
trial of them I accordingly gave my son
dose agreeable to directions, which soon eX-
