as THIS MEDICINEIn

We exclaimed the other day, on tasting some
of Jayne's Tonic Vemifugo. Ii certainly has
none of the nauseous favour, which one associates
with the idea OF physc. Children consider IT
quite treat and taking it their palates are graft
flied, and their health restored at the same time.
Jayne's Tonic Vermfuge not only destroys worms,
but carries off the mucus in which they are im-
hedded, and effects a radical and permanent cure.
Every mother knows the prominent symptoms oil
worms, such Yogaciy, leanness, etid breath,
grinding of the iee, during sleep, paleness, oil the
lips, itching OF ihe nose, etc, but there Is other
indcia not generally recognized dry cough,
dull ewes enlarge neat Of the abdomen, aud many
other symptoms common TO other diseases, RE-
quently denote the presence Of worms. II their
existence is even suspected, the Vemifuge should
be administered, because it can do no harm IN
any case, aud may do incalculable good

principally for cash. at favorable time, in the two

iower Than goods have heretofore been bought in
Lancaster.
We are well aware that trade in this place has
formerly been conducted under serious impede
ments, viz: the want of such goods as called
for, especially by farmers, and many who find it
most convenient to trade in Lancaster, after asking
in vain again and again for such articles as they
need, have been induced, or rather compelled to
20 TO adjoining towns for their goods; and this we
do know, we can afford to sell cheap as our
neiahbors at Snake or Beeown. We are well
aware il we dc this, we can incren'e our own
business and accommodate others, and if we do
not, we eanno, expect liberal share of public
patronage. viii you come!
