THESE LoZenges rave now been in use, in
the Southern and Western States upwards of
twelve months, during which time they have
gained for themselves a popularity unprece-
dented in the annals of medicine. In over
$4,000 cases they have proved an infallible
remedy for the destruction of those reptiles

hundreds and thousands Of the most blooming
children and youth, severiug the cords of af-

of the parent. So great has their efficacy in

use, and the greatest discovery ever made for

SO pleasant to the tasfe, that children cry for
them, and eat them as readily as a common

been used, they have received the most fatter-
