Many Wonder.

Many wonder how it is that pin worms
and stomach worms get into little chill
dren, or how tape worm 300 feet long
can get in and exist and grow inside OF
a man, as it sometimes happens. They
may we'll wonder, for it is a graat mys-
terry. However, many now know from
experience that Mothers Worm Syrup
will rid one of intestinal worms and
greatly improve the health after the
worms have been destroyed and expell-
ed. 1t is absolutely harmless remedy
to take, and as it only costs rs cents, all
should try it who suspect worms to be
the cause of their i'll health.

Health and RcNntY.

A poor complexion is usually the re-
suit of torpid liver or irregular action
of the bowels. Unless natures refuse

of throwing off the poisons which the
bowels failed to remove. DeWitt's Lit

remedying this condition. They slim
ulate the liver and promote regular and
