WORMS! 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 symptoms Of almost every other COM
plant, they often produce alarming effects without
being suspected Worms not only 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 obstructing the bowels and frequently the throat
causing commissions, and too often death The best
remedy ever yet known is
DR.. JAYNE'S TONIC VERMIFUGE,
which is perfectly safe, and so pleasant that children
will not refuse to take it. 1t etiectualIy destroys
WORMS; neutralizes acidity sourness of the
stomach, increases appetite, and acts as general
and permanent Tonic, and is therefore, exceedingly
beneficial in Intermittent and Remttent Fevers In
digestion, &c., and is certain and permanent cure
for FEVER and AGUE.
Il not only destroys Worms, and invigorates the
whole system, but it dissoves and carries off the
perabundant slime or mucous SO prevalent in the
stomach and bowels of children, more especially OF
tho>e 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
even when Worms are discovered. Numerous
certificates of its usefulness have been received,
which the proprietor does not consider necessary to
publish yet TO give The reader an idea OF It's vermi
fuge powers, he will mention few cases He gave
it to his little nephew not four years old, and in
few days he discharged upwards of ninety large
worms He also gave it TO his daughter, then about
three years DID, when it brought away thirty worms
In one night.
Josiah Thompson, near Salem, N. j., administered
this Vermifuge to child between two and three
years old, and says that in few days she discharged
one hundred and twenty-seven large Worms
MT. Joseph A. Lents, of the Penn Township Sa-
wings Institution, in this city, gave it to Of his
Children and says that after the sixth dose brought
away about hity Worms at once, five and six inches
long.
Mr.. Ferdinand Woodruff used two bottles of this
Vermifuge 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
dreds, but may truly say, by thousands, separately
and in solid balls large as hickory nuts, composed
entirely Of dead worms.
