WORMS WORMS! woRMs!!!

OF all diseases to which children are exposed,
none are fatal to them as worms. Unfortunately,
children are seldom free from them, and as they
initiate the symptoms of 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 aggravate
all other diseases, wandering from 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 bes
remedy ever yet known is
