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 withod
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 best
remedy ever yet known is
DR.. JAYNE'S TONIC yERMIFUGE,
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 as general
and permanent Tonic, and is therefore, exceedingly
beneficial in Intermittent and Remittent Fevers In
digestion, &C., and is certain and permanent cure
for FEVER and AGUE.
It not only destroys Worms and invigorates the
whole system, but dissolves and carries off the
perabundant slime or mucous so prevalent in the
stomach and bowels Of children more especially oil
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,
when no Worms discovered. Numerous
certificates of its usefulness have been received,
which the proprietor does not consider necessary
publish yet to give the reader idea of its verm-
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
He also gave it to his daughter, then about
three years old, when it brought away thirty
/ n one night
Josiah Thompson, near Salem, N. j., administered
tins 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 one Of his
chldreB and says that after the sixth dose il brought
away about fifty Worms at once, five and six inches
long ,a4a.
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 il administered
