AN ErrEcruAL WoRM MEDlcME.-BROWN'E
yERMIFUGE COMFITE, Or Worm Lozenges.
Much sickness, undoubtedly, with children and
adults, attributed TO other causes, is occasioned
by worms. The "yermifuge Comfts," al
though cfectual in destroying worms, can do
no possible injury to the most delicate child.
This valuable combination has been success
fully used by physicians, and found to be safe
and sure in Graduating worms, so hurtful to
children.
Children having Worms require immediate at
tention neglect of the trouble often causes pro-
longed sickness.
Symptoms of Worms in children are often over
looked Worms in the stomach and bowels cause
irritation, which can be removed only by the use
of sure remedy. The combination of ingredi-
| ents used in making Browns "vermifuge Com
FITS is such as to give the best possible effect with

NECESSITY FOR 1T.

a view to accommodate the river trade, has long
been felt. Many important towns are now with
out any teiegraphic communication whatever and
the lines now established between other points
are, in most cases, disconnected, following cir
cuitous routes, hundreds of miles out of a direct
course, causing vexatious and unnecessary delays
to business, by reason Of numerous repetitions,
and the frequent interruptions incident to long
lines. When the facts are borne in mind that the
liability of n telegraph line to damage from any
cause is increased in the proportion its
length, and that the repetition Of a message don
bles the time necessary for its Transmission, the
great and very important advantages of direct
route over the circuitous ones now in operation
can readily be seen.

IIFE-S SAVING,
A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE

n IhASD EFOCH ~ M EDlCE E.
DIR. Maggiel is the founder of a new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin are deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most yir&ent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matchless salve.
Dr. Maggiels Pills and Salve have ushered in
q new medical era. No more nauseating avalnn-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples threats. One of Maggieps Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in a
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous.
In fact Maggiel's Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns Scalds Chilblains, Cuts, and all abrassions
of the skin, Maggiel's Salve is infallible.
