the diseases for which it is recommended. II is per
fectly safe, and no child will refuse TO take it.
Worms being especially apt to infest persons of de-
blitated digestive organs and emaciated constitutions,
much mischief is often done by the ordinary worm
medicines, which generally consist of the strongest pur-
gatives, calomel-lhat destroyer of the constitution
bilters, pink root, spirits of turpentine WoTmseed OIL
&C., sc. Arcles OF this kind may destroy worms but
they deblitae the stomach and often materially niure
the general health, without removing the cause
Swaims VeImifuge has the peculiar advantage of re-
moving the cause of worms, by giving vgor and healthy
action the stomach bowels and organs of Digestion
thereby relieving measles, Group hopping cough &c.
Strengthening The organs Of digestion, and removing the
primary cause which cTeasss morbid secretiOns will re-

TO TRAVELLERS GOING


u SOUTH-HALIFAx, IN. CO. October 10Th 1870
We the undersigned passengers from Baltimore South,
here by caution the public against the misrepresentation
made by the Bay Line of Steamboats, and the Ports
mouth and Roanoke rail road from baltimore via Nor
folk to Weldon, NJ c.; in vor OF their unrvaed expe-
Giuon.
Wewere assured that the Bay Line was the only line
by which passengers could reach tine Wilmington raj
road at Weldon, thereby leaving the impression that this
was the only roue by which passengers could reach the
Wilmington rail road; and also that would be twenty
four hours in advance of the passengers by the Great
Mail Line. But 10 great astonlshment, on arriving
at Weldon we were too late for the for Wilmington
and Charleston; and instead of being "twenty-tour
hours in advance Of the MALL we were thrown back
twenty four hours behind if.
II is the Bay Line, via Portsmouth, is the only
line now running 10 Weldon, but passengers by the
Great Mail Line are landed by steamboat n Halifax
point equally pleasant, the Wilmington rail road
several miles below Weldon.
If there had been any unavoidable accident 10 prevent
getting through in time woud most willingly
the detention; but nothing OF the kind occurred
\ die night on the bay calm and pleasant we
witnessed, and nothing to prevent the steamboat
gliding the smooth IuTface of the water as fast
| steam could drive U.s.
1t seems 10 US, therefore, that, as they have failed in
complying with their promises under the ia
vorabe circumstances, the traveller place but little
reliance on their fair promises or their flaming hand
bills
