VEhMlFUGk COMFITS, Or Worm Losenses.
Much sickness, undoubtedly, with ohsliren and
adults, attributed to other causes, is oecasioned
by worms. The "Vsrmifuge Comfts," a.
though eFectual 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 eradicsting worms, 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
fts is such to give the best possible effect with
safety,
