WORMS! WORMS! WORMS u!

Of all diseases to which children are exposed
none 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 wihoat

disease themselves, but by their irritation aggravate
all other diseases wandering from one part of the
body to another, winding themselves into large balls
and obsructng the bowels and frequently the throat
causing commissions, and too often death The best

which is perfectly safe and pleasant that children
will not refuse to take it. 1t effectuay destroys
WORMS; neutralizes5 acidty sourness of the
stomach, increases appetite, and acts as a general
and permanent Tonic, and is therefore, exceedingly
beneficial in Intermittent and Remttent Fevers In

those in bad health. This mucous forms the bed or
nest in which worms produce their young; and by

the body. "a
