DYSPEPSIA CURED.

BENNINGTON, VT. Dec. 9Th, 1543.
Dear ri wish to add my testimony to the host
of others that you have in favor of your valuable pills
In the yeaI 1885, was attacked with that disagree
able complaint the Dyspepsia, which affected me
that could not take particle of food, without the
most unpleasant and uncomfortable sensations in my
chest, head and bowels. My chest was SO sore that
could not bear the slightest pressure without giving
me pain. My health was most miserable; many
physicians told me they thought was in the consump-
ton, and that if did not give up my business, and
change climate, could live but short time
tried every thing il. the shape of medicine, and
consulted the most skilfu physicians, but found no
permanent relief | became discouraged, gloomy,
sad, and sick of liie and, probably, ere this should
have been in my grave had | not fell in with your
precious medicine friend of mine, who had been
sick of the same complaint, advised me to try your
pills; but having tried most other medicines without
obtaining any relief had but little faith that your pills
would be OF benefit to me but at his earnest solicit
tation, procured box and commenced taking
them.
The first box produced little no effect, and be-
gan to despond, for fear that your medicine would
prove like others have taken; but my friends argued
that one was not fair trial. and purchased Sec
ond and before | had taken the whole box began to
experience change the pain in my chest began to be
less painful and my food did not distress so much
as formerly. went on taking them until had taken
SIX boxes, and my Dyspepsia was GONE, and my eX-
pectation of an early death vanished, and felt like
a new creature" / was then, and am
healthy man. have never since been troubled with
the Dyspepsia Ihave administered your pills to the
members ofmy family, and to my friends, and in all
cases with good success. You publish this if it
will be Of any use to you. am, dear sir, truly yours

DR.. JAYNE'S TONIC VERMIFUGE.

stomach increases appetite, and acts as general
and permanent Tonic, and is therefore, exceedingly
beneficial in Intermittent and Remtent Fevers, In
digestion, &C., and is certain and permanent cure
for FEVER and AGUE.
1t not only destroys Worms, and nvigorates the
whole SYSTEM but it dissoves and carries off the SUI
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 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 no Worms discovered. Numerous
certificates of its usefulness have been received,
which the proprietor does not consider necessary to
publish yet to give the reader idea of its vermi-
fuge powers he will mention few cases He gave
II to his little nephew, not four years DID, 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.
Mr.. Joseph A. Lents, of the Penn Township Sa-
wings Institution, in this city, gave it to one of his
cnldren and says that after the sixth dose brought
away about nifty Worms at once, five and six inches
long.
Mr.. Ferdinand Woodruff used two bottles of this
VermIfnge 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 a 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

WORMS! WORMS! woRMs!!!

OF all diseases to which children are exposed,
none are SO fatal to them as worms Unfortunately
children seldom free from them, and as they
initiate the symptoms of almost every other COM
plant, they often produce alarming effects withoAt
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 cenvulsions, and too often death. The bes
remedy ever vet known is

DEAFNESS,

DR.. McNAIR'S ACOUSTIC OTL-Those deaf
from infancy often receive, in most miraculous
manner their hearing when they least expect it, by
some trifng accident or event. which shows them
how easily they might have much sooner had their
hearing and saved themselves and their friends the
pain Of conversng in loud tone, without pleasure,
Of being neglected and Stunned, to avoid that dis
tress which is felt mutually by the deaf person and
his hearers. How sacred duty, therefore, it is
that we use all necessary means to remove such an
acton, and enjoy the social qualities implanted in
our natures This EAR OIL has the effect SO to re-
eve the tension, and bring into us the natural action
of the parts to restore the hearing when lost or
impaired. This is proved by SO many and well-known
cases, that, where known, it needs no praise The
great wish Of the proprietor is, that each may speak
to others of its uncommon virtues, till sufferers may
know. and be relieved and restored by its use This
will be done in all cases of recent DEAFNESS and
many of long standing ALL DEAF PERSONS
should use this oil 1t will relieve at once, or if
DEAFNESS is just commencing, will remove the
cause and check its progress. Those who have been
long deaf should continue Its application few weeks

years it was, as thought, incurabe it spread very

the advice of my friends, called tive of the most
eminent physicians Of the place, who recommended
your preparation of Sarsaparla knowing of nothing
that would be as likely to help me; which advice
