woRMs!! WORMS

OF all diseases to which children are exposed
none are SO fatal to them as worms. Unfortunately
children are seldom free from them and as they
initiate the symptomsrof almost every other com
plant, they often produce alarming effects without
being suspected. Worms are not only cause of
disease themselves but by their irritation aggravae
all other diseases, wandering from one part of the
body to another winding themselves into large balls
and obstructng the bowels and frequently the throat
causing commissions, and too often death. The best
remedy ever yet known is r.
DIR. JAYNE'S TONIC VERMIFUGE,
which is perfectly safe, and pleasant that children
will not refuse to take it. 1t efectually destroys
WORMS; neutralizes acidity or sourness of the
stomach, increases appetite, and acts general
and permanent Tonic and is, therefore, exceedingly
beneficial In Intermittent and Remittent Fevers In
digestion, &C., and is a certain and permanent cure
for FEVER and AGUE. C& tt 1@
It not only destroys Worms, and invigorates the
whole system, but it dissolves and carries off the SUI
perabundant slime mucous so prevalent in the
stomach and bowels of children, more especially Of
those in bad health. This mucous forms The bed or
nest in which worms produce their young; and by
removing tit is impossible for worms to remain in
the body. raGtGel .sas- -&l. KEEL t5
II is harmless in its effects on the system and the
health of the patient is always improved by its use,
when no Worms discovered. Numerous
certificates of its usefulness have been received
which the proprietor does not consider necessary to
publish; yet to give the reader idea of its verm
fuge powers, he will mention few cases. He gave
1t to his little nephew, not Tour years old, and in
few days he discharged upwards of ninety large
He also gave it to his daughter, then about
three years old, when it brought away thirty worms
IN one night ci'a 81 ft q. h. ~
Josiah Thompson, near Salem, N j., administered
this Vermfuge to child between two and three
years DID, and says that in few days she discharged
one hundred and twenty -seven large Worms.
Mr. Joseph A. l.ents, of the Penn Township Sa-
wings institution in this city, gave it to one of his
children and says that after the sixth dose il brought
away about fifty Worms at once, FIVE and six inches
long .
; Mr. Ferdinand Woodruff used two bottles of this
Vermlfnge for DYSPEPSIA, and in the course of
two weeks discharged upwards OF thirty pieces of
TAPE WORM, and was thereby perfectly cured.
Another gentleman of this city had it administered
to his little daughter about three years old, when
she had number of discharges from her bowels,
composed entirely of little white thread worms He
says, they came away from her, not only by hun
areas, put may truly say, by thousands, separately
ana IN solid balls large hickory nuts, composed
entirely Of dead worms
