EVERY CHILD SHOULD
BE GIVEN THIS TONIC

When children have no appetite;
when they are continually peevsh
and irritable; when they are restless
in their sleep, it is almost certain
indication that their digestive organs
are troubled with worms or other par
asites. This is very common all
ment and easily remedied. Physl-
clans will tell you that nearly every
child is SO troubled at some time In
the same way. Among adults this
trouble is invariably referred to as
Indigestion, when in reality it is due
TO small parasite which infests the
intestinal tract.
For children, Jayne's Tonic Vermi-
fuge is unsurpassed, as 1t is not only
destructive to these parasites, but
completely removes the nests in
which their young are deposited. Sci
dom does it purge, and the improve
ment in the health Of the child will
be the first and best Indication CT the
beneficial results of the medicine. No
only will the Vermifuge destroy al
the parasites, but its wonderful tonic
effects will restore the digestion
which has been impaired.
For children, the addition of lit
tie sugar will make It so paIatabl'
that they will take it readily. Mill
ions of parents have praised it fo
more than eighty years. Insist OIL

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-In the stoch

the day was the sharp decline in

day, sold down to SO on heavy offer

port at that level, but the movement
was weak and uncertain. The petrol
cum issues were also notably weak,
being heavily sold at times during
the day. Elsewhere the market show
ed greater firmness, but the tone was
not at all certain. In the last hour
the market became very quiet and
some of the standard shares gave a
better account OF themselves. But
the movement showed an indisposi-
ton on the part of traders to assume
