'ENtlIS preparation has now stood the test of
Il several years trial, and is confidently recon-.
mended as Il safe and eilcctual medicine for en-
pelling worms from the system. The uneXam-
pied success that has attended its administration
in every case where the patient really afllic,-
ed with worms, certainly renders it worthy the at
tcntion of Physicians.
The proprietor has made it point to ascertain
the result of its use in such cases as came within
his knowledge and observa,ion--and he invaria-
bly, found il to produce the most salutary elects
not unfrequently after nearly all the ordinary pre-
partitions recommended for worms had been prcvi-
ously rcsorted to without any advantage. This fact
is auestcd by the certificates and statements OF
hundreds of respectable persons in different, parts OF
the country--and should induce families always
to keep vial in their possession. 1T is mild in
its operation, and may be administered with per.
