BEII,S WORM SYRUP.

The most innocent, pleasant and efficient re-
medy in use. A remedy perfect in aslef.-
NO CASTOR OIL TO BE TAKEN.
In this Preparation VIC have included such
remedies only, that have been tried for years
and are known to possess powerful anthelmin-
tic virtues, combined with mild aperients, pleas
ant aromatics and sugar Anthelmintics of
themselves cannot perform their peculiar ftinc-
tons or have the desired effect, unless the bow
els are kept moderately open. TO producethis
gentle purgativeS are necessary, and such only
ought to be used as cannot interfere with the
anthelmintic employed. The advantages we
claim for this Syrup, are: 1st: It's power of
Destroying and Erpelling Horns
3D. Its mild aperient effect upon the bowels.
3D.. Its pleasant taste and odor are advanta-
ges possessed or claimed by very few Vermifu-
ges.
A. It's harmless influence upon the system,
consequently no injurious effects will result
from its useshould the patient have no Worms,
but an apparent disease, arising from some other
unknown cause, which is frequently the case.
The constituents of this Syrup and its effects
are known to all our Physicians, who are now
using it in their practice to a large extent.
PRICE-25 cents a bottle.

The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song

Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world reyolved from night to day,
