OF al diseases to which children are exposed,
none are 80 fatal to them as worms. Unfortunately,
children are seldom free from them, and as they
initiate the symptoms of almost every other COM

being suspected. Worms are not only cause of
disease themselves, but by their irritation aggravate
all other diseases, wandering from part of the
body to another winding themselves into large balls,

stomach, increases appetite, and acts general
and permanent Tonic, and u.s. therefore, exceedingly
beneficial in Intermittent and Remittent Fevers In
digestion, &C., and is certain and permanent cure
for FEVER and AGUE.
II not only destroys Worms, and invigorates the
whole system but it dissolves and carries off the s-
perabundant slime or 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.
1t is harmless in its effects on the SYSTEM and the
health of the patient is always improved by its use
