sickIy. Peevish Children

Children suffering from intestinal
worms are cross, restless and un-
healthy. There are other symptoms,
however. If the child is pale, has
dark rings under the eyes, bad breath
and takes no interest in play, it is
almost a certainty that worms are
eating away its vitality. The surest
remedy for worms is Whites Cream
vermifuge. 1t is positive destruction
to the worms but harmless to the
child. Price 35c. Sold by Palace Drug
Store.
