WINER'S
Canadian Vermifuge.

THE best remedy ever yet discovered
l. for alIkiuds of WORMS. 1t not only DESTROYS
Worms and invigorates the whole system, but it
dissolves and carries off the snperabundant slime of
mucus, so prevalent in the stomach and bowels of
children, more especially of those in bad health
The mucus forms the bed or nest in which Worms
produce their young, and by removing ii, it is i'm
possible for worms 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 are discovered; the medicine being
palatable, no child will refuse to take it, not even
the most delicate.
