yourself, be convinced of the mer-
its of these wonderful remedies.
We wish to call your attention to
this particular case: Mr.. a. l..
Bryant, who resides at 308 North
Lee-st., called few days ago, and
said: "You have the best worm
medicine that | have ever tried. |
bought box of your Globe Tonic
Worm Lozenges a few days ago
and gave some of it to both of my
children, and [ am very much
pleased with the results both
children expelled several worms.
No wonder you hear SO much talk

they are doing the work that has
been left undone by others, and if

you will be telling some of your
friends to use it."
