ocr: JCDICIAL ADII EISEEuI CAN iA UE A AIN REMEDY I WORMS. I T is a fact, establishedbeyond the shadow of doubt, by the experience and testinmo ny of the most eminent physicians. more than three fourths of the diseases with which childr.T are afflicted, are caused by worms, and thousa ids children die anumally from those diseases, when the cause is either not known or attributed to some thing else. Various are the preparatiol which have been recommended as remedies foi worms, but experience has proved them all more or less ineffectual; the end however has at length been at tained, and a remedy found which has never failed to destroy worms, wherever they have existed. This assertion is supported by the testimony of the most eminent physicians and respectable individu als in the country. The remedy is WINER S CANADIAN VERMIFUGE, WARRANU D PURELY VEGETABLE.
