description Of Worms. and the S. mp
toms by uhich they are kno1cn.

Worms which iDfest the human body
are chiefly of four kinds viz.-The Te-
res or large round worm ; the Ascari-
des OF small maw-worm 4; the Cucurbl-
tius or short flat white worm and
lastly, The Tenia or tape-worm, so call
ed from its resemblance to tape. This
is often many yards long and is full OF
joints. It's most hurtful and most diff.
cult to remove.
Among the symptoms attending worms
are--disagreeable breath, especially in,
the morning; bail and corrupted gums !
itching in the nose, and about the seat;
couvulsions, cpiIeptic fits, and sometimes
priVation of speech; starting and grind
ing Of the teeth in sleep irregular appe
lite. sometimes loathing food and some
times voracious purging with Shiny and
fetid stools vomiting; large aud hard
belly :; pains and sickness at the sto-
mach pains in the head aud thighs and
iowness Of spirits slow fever with small
and irregular pulse dry cough; Excess
sive thirst; sometimes pale and unhealthy
cOuntenance, and sometimes the face bloa-
tel and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above
symptoms should have immediate re-
course to Hamilten's Worm Destroying
Lozenses, which have been constantly
attended with success in all complaints
similar to thuse above described.
A dose of this medicine given ,cca.
sionally during the warm season, will ef-
tectually prevent "the vomiting and pur-
ging OF chiIdren"-a dreadful disorder,
which annually destroys thousands o. the
infant part Of our c.:ishs. It's likewise
the mildest and most CERTAIN remedy
khowh, and has restored to health and
strength great number when in an ad.
vanced stage Of this fatal complaint. Par
ticular and plain instructions are given
for every part Of the necessary treatment
in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine
with eagerness; having pleasing appear.
ance, and an agreeable taste.
