like living skeleton he said that in early life
he had been remarkably hearty and robust, but for
the last four years he had been gradually wasting
away, till his coat would wrap twice around him.
He had suffered all but death, and had been under
the care Of nine different physicians and not one
OF them had done him any good, neither could they
tell what allied him.
lie said that his appetite was so good that he
could hardly eat enough; he suffered from palpita-

his body; gnawing sensation at the stomach, slight
chills and flashes of heat, drowsiness and dizzi-
ness, frightful dreams, and SO miserable was he
that he had rather die than live. DR. r. told him
that he had worms, and he could cure him. The
man shook his head and said it was impossible,
but he would try; so the Dir gave him box Of
Sherman's Worm Lozenges, and told him to take
them according to the printed directions accompa-
nying them. He returned in three days, and said
he felt like new being-that the first dose bro:
away tapeworm 20 or so feet long, and the sec
ond dose brought away % feet more. Thus two
doses OF Sherman's Worm Lozenges effected a
cure; and although but few months have elapsed,
he is now as fat and hearty as he ever was in his
life. After years of misery, swallowing enormous
quantities of medicine, and spending hundreds of
dollars, he was cured by only one 25 cent box of
these celebrated Lozenees.

WORMS CAUSE DEATH.

Thousands upon thousands have gone down to
graves from Marasmus, or wasting away of the
body, Epilepsy, Fits, st Vitus' Dance, Locked
Jaw, Apoplexy, Mania, Dropsy in the Head, Pal
sy, Consumption, Pleurisy Dysentery, Convul-
sions, and many other supposed apparent diseases;
and many have suffered for years and years, and
have been dociored for some imaginary complaint
without the least relief and others are still suffer
ing, when all the trouble arises from worms, and
worms alone, which are entirely overlooked, and
when the proper treatment would have saved their
lives, and restored them to health Every obser-
want mother cannot but see and admit the truth !;
but still many physicians shut their eyes to that
ail-important cause of disease.
Persons of all ages and sexes, from the tender
infant at the breast to old age, are all liable TO be
afflicted with worms Many person has suffered
his whole life from them, and never suspected it.
Different kinds of worms inhabt different parts of
the body; but long dissertation on their particu
lar Locality, origin. &c. is superfuous and unneces-
sary, so long as proper. safe and certain remedy
is at hand. That is all the public wants or cares
for. The sale of over two millions of boxes of
Sherman's Worm Lozenges, in less than five wears,
places their reputation far above all other worm
medicines.

despondency, are Immediately relieved by Sher-
mans Camphor Lozenges. Persons travelling or

all fatigue and give buoyancy to the spirits. At

Splitting of Blood,

NIGHT SWEATS AND PAIN IN THE SIDE.
Jonathan Haworth, Esq. the well known Tenn
perance Lecturer, was attacked with cold from
sleeping in damp Sheets in the winter of IS4l. He
neglected it at first, but soon found it assuming a
somewhat alarming aspect, and then resoIted to
the various remedies usually recommended for lung
complaints. When one thing failed he tried an
other until ne had exhausted his patience and the
whole catalogue of remedies. His cough was al
most incessant, so that he could get little or no
sleep-attended with pain in his side, splitting of
blood, night sweats and all the usual symptoms of
Consumption. While at Rome, IN " he felt that
his end was nigh-that in that place he must soon
end his journey of life. Providentaly, lady
who visited him advised trial of DIR Sherman's
Cough LoZenges. He accordingly sent and got
box, and the first dose gave him more relief than
all the other medicines he used before. By the
i;,le he had taken one small box, he was able to
start to- the city of New York, and in three weeks
time he was perfectly restored to his usual health.
He often announces the fact to his hearers, when
lecturing on Tempe -ance, and says ne owes his
life to DIR Sherman's Lo-enges
From the Cincinnati Daily Times, of Jan. 4th ls44.
Coughs-The variabeness of the weather this
winter has caused an unusual number of persons
to be afflicted by colds and coughs-scarcely
family has escaped; and with many carelessness
in attending to cough, has laid the foundation for
consumption. Our family has not escaped the
general affliction, but owing to a remedy, used
for the first time, they were speedily cured Sher-
mans Cough Lozenges, which we were induced
to try, proved what they represented to be- and
affected cure in few days of a troublesome
cough, which appeared so deeply seated that
seemed doubtful if it could be removed at H.

DR. Sherman Dear Sir-As most ardently de-
sire to benefit my fellow men, especially those who
are the unhappy victims of that dreadful disease,
Consumption, will relate, for their consideration,
the astonishing effect of your Cough Lozenges

days. / was able to attend the session every day
for few hours by contining myself the rest of my
time to my bed. The Fathers IN the Gospel told
me ought to arrange my worldly affairs and pre-
pare for speedy death, and consequently put me
on the superanuated list Very fortunately, and
may say providently, heard of your Lozenges,
and was prevailed upon to try them, and to my ct
ter astonishment, after taking three one day, they
allayed the violent attacks of coughing, and ena-
bled me to sleep fo- hours together, which could
not do before | continued to mproveunder their
use for several weeks, when | considered myself
well, and able to resume my duties as a minister
of the Gospel of our Saviour. How many will
soon enter the gloomy vale of death, that might
long be blessing to the world and comfort to
their friends, if they could obtain your medicines!
May Providence favor your efforts until every fam
lily in the civilized world can procure your medl-
cine, which consider the most valuable ever dis
covered by the medical faculty. In conclusion,
may God bless you and prolong your life for use
fulness TO suffering humanity. Accept my mex
