with the variations exhibited in the countcnances
of the Cvons-the mos, gloomy, sad looking fel-
lows one day, and the next with open mouths

been amazed 10 think that men, who profess TO
believe that "Polk wont carry four States, should

they shout at what they knew was certain for

WORMS! woRMs!!!


none are fatal to them worms. Unfortunately,
children seldom free from them, and as they
initiate the symptoms Of almost every other COM
plant, they often produce alarming effects withodt
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 obstructng the bowels and frequently the throat
causing commissions, and too often death The best
remedy ever yet known is
DIR. JAYNE'S TONIC VERMIFUGE,
which is perfectly safe, and so pleasant that children
will not refuse to take it. 1t efectually destroys
WORMS; neutralizes acidity or sourness of the
stomach, increases appetite, and acts 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.
1t not only destroys Worms, and nvigorates 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
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.
Ii 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
fpge powers, he will mention few 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 old, 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 of his
Children and says that after the sixth dose il brought
away about fifty Worms at once, five and six inches
long
Mr.. Ferdinand Woodruff used two bottles of this
Vermlfuge 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 hickory nuts, composed
entirely of dead worms.
