AN EPFEcTUAL WORN MEDIcISE.-BROWN'S
FERMIFUGE COMFITS, Or Worm Lozenges.
Much sickness, undoubtedly, with children and
adults, attributed to other causes, is occasioned
by worms. The "Vermifuge Comfts," al
though efectual in destroying worms, can 10
no possible injury to the most delicate child.
This valuable combination has been success
fully used by physicians, and found to be safe
ana in eradicating worms, hurtful to
children.
Children having Worms require immediate at
tention, neglect of the trouble often 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 surs remedy. The combination of ingredi-
ents used in making Browns "Vermifuge Com
fits" is such to give the best possible effect with
safety,

HOLLOWAY'S -
YERMIFUGE
es4@s9 CONNECTIONS.

DR.. Holloway, some fifteen years ago,
witnessing the distress occasioned siekly
children in taking the nauseous vermi-
fuges of that day, resolved to annaiyze
them, and from the most effective OF
these remedies succeeded in separating
their active medical properties, pure,
tasteless and inodorous. Then, by
combining these with sugar, and mold
ing them into an agreeable contecton,
formed the present POPULAR and EFFEC-
TIVE VRRMIFUGE known
HoIlOWay'S Vermifuge CONNECTIONS.
Which have almost entirely superseded
the old nauseous Vermifuges, to the de-
light of the poor little sufferers. 1t con
tains no t,alomel or other poisonous in
gradients ~ i-{f~
: s. So higAly esteemed issths popular
Vermifuge by the profession, that all
intelligent physicians who know of
them, prescribe them in preference to
other remedies, as not only moro pleas
ant to take, but more effective to cure.
Parents and guardians, having the s
care of children, should keep them as q
family medicine; for they not only Grad
icate Worms-those pests of childhood s.
but correct any arrangement of the
digestive organs, so prevalent with chill
dren.

LoU1sv1LLE.-The Courier of Saturday

AOCAc AoSOAddy
says:
The river was about at a stand yesterday,
with three feet seven inches in the canal
by the mark, which is the same
depth as the veDin previous. The wealth
er has continued ultry and warm, though
cooler yesterday by several degrees than
the day previous, the thermometer not
quite up to 80, with several showers of rain
in the afternoon, and the promise of more
at night.
Soon after dusk THURSDAY evening, a
change in the then prevailing dry weather
was observable, a. d a light rain COM
menced falling, fol owed by a long, con-
tlnued, steady, hard rain, which, if gene
farmer, as the corn and vegetables were
suffering and perishing with drouth.
The rain extended Nor h beyond Indi-
annapolis, but it did not go very far South.
At this time last year we had a coal-bOat
tide at PittSburg, and the present indica-
tions favor a good deal OF rain In the
mountains.
A coal-boat Tide just now would b de.
sirable, as the stock of coal afioat upsold
is very light, and dealers have been ask
ing l6 cents afloat all the week, and have
threatened an advance.
ST. LoUIs.-The Democrat of Saturday,
says:
Heavy rains Thursday night and last
evening, but still the river falls. The on
ly effect anticipated of these late down
pours, as tar as concerns navigation, is that
low water will be set back, but set back
only a little-a day or two. But the eff
feet on the land is glorious and immedi-
ate. Weather yesterday still hotter than
before. Departures few. Arrivals fair in
number, and most of them loaded to
their fullest capacity. and report freights
on The upDer rivers still increasing. II is
supposed the Illinois, above Peoria, is
even lower than reported, as a boat and
barge were aground and had not arrived
last evening from Peoria, over due two
DAYS.
