Der of persons of both sexes, OF every age,

and from distractions or fonlness IN the

This medicine bears no analogy what
ever to others of similar titles so com

yislence; on the contrary, a particular
excellence of this remedy is its being
suited to every age and constitution. 1t
contains nothing but what's perfectly IN

cannot iniure the most delicate pregnant
lady or the 'tenderest infant of a week old,
should no worms exist in the body; but
will, without pain or gripin:s. cleanse the
stomach and bowels, of whatever is foul
pr offensive, and thereby prevent the pre-
ouction of worms, and many fatal dis
orders. The lozenges are particularly
eficacious in carrying off all gross hn-

complaints, and are the safest and mild
est purgatiye that can be used on any
occasion.
