WITS preparation has now stood the test of
several years trial, and is confidently recon-.
mended as safe and etlectual medicine for en-
pelling worms from the system. The unexam-
Piled success that has attended its administration
IN every case where the patient was really afIlic-
ed with worms, certainly renders it worthy the at
tention of Physicians.
The proprietor has made it point to ascertain
the result Of its use in such cases as came within
his knowledge and observation-and he invaria-
Oily found it to produce the most salu,ary effects
not untrequently after nearly all the ordinary pre-
7arations recommended for worms had been preyi
ousy resorted to without any advantage. This fact
Is attested 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 i'm
ats operation, and may be administered with per.
fec. safety TO the most delicate infant. For sale
