promote their own health at all sacrifices.-
i feel it to be my duty to solemnly assure
you that WORMS, according to the opinion
of the most celebrated physicians, are the
primary causes of II large majority of disea-

An article founded upon scientific princi-
pies, compounded with purely vegetable sub
stances, being perfectly safe when taken, and
can he given to the most tender infant with
decided beneficial effect. Where Bowel
Complaints and DiarrhGa have made them
weak and debilitated, the tonic properties of
my Worm Syrup are such, that it stands
wothout an equal in the catalogue of medi-
cines in giving tone and strength to the stom-
nch, which makes it IN infalliblc remedy for
those afflicted with Dyspepsia The aston
ishing cures performed by this syrup, after

THE TAPE WORM
This is the most difficult worm to destroy
ofall that infcst the human system, II grows
to an almost indefinite length, becoming SO
coiled and fastened in the intestines and
stomach, affecting the health so sadly, as to
camse st. Vitus' Dance, Fits, &c, that those
afflicted seldom if ever suspect that it is Tape
Worm hastening them TO an early grave. In
order to destroy this worm n very energetic
treatment must be pursued. Itwould, there

Pills. so rs To remove all distractions. that
the Worm Syrup may act direct upon the
worm, which must be taken in doses OF ,

The importance of this article as a sta
pie is but just beginning to be realized a.
mong the farmers at the West. The re-
peated failures of the wheat crop in that

during an abundant season, have been
causes for great Encouragement to the
agricultural community, and the attention
Of the farmers Of the Northwest having
been fortunately directed to the breeding
Of sheep, the experiment has been found
to work admirably, and there has, for the
past three years, been continually in
creasing clip Of wool sent forward to mar
ket from the interior Of Michigan, in the
aggregate amounting to some millions Of
pounds. The prices SO far have been
higher, more uniform, and better sustain
cd than those Of any other product of

tain that wool is TO be the leading agri-

states that there are runners all over the
country buying up sheep-Pclts at exorbi-

farmers to kill off large numbers Of their
focks. This is very bad policy, and viii
