DR. M'LANE'S
ColobraI bolsrican Worm Spocift,
No diseases to which the human body is liable are better entitled to the attention of the
philanthropist than those consequent on the irritation produced by worms in the stomacA
andbowes. Whelfthe sufferer is an adult, the cause is very frequently overlooked ; and,
consequently, theproper remedy' is not applied. But when the patient is an infant, if the
disease is not entire neglected it is still too frequently ascribed, in whole or part,to some
other cause. It ought hero to be particularly remarked, that although but few woums may
exist in a child, and howsoever quiescent they may have been previously, no sooner is the.
constitution invaded by any of the numerous train of diseases to which infancy is exposed;
than it isfearfully augmented by their irritation. Hence, it too frequently happens that a
disease otherwise easily managed by proper remedies, when aggravated by that cause, bids
defiance to treatment judicious in other respects, bat which entirely fails in consequence
of worms being overlooked. And even in cases of greater violence, if a potent and prompt
remedy were possessed, so that they could be expelled without loss of time, which is so
precious in such cases, the disease might be attacked, by proper remedies, even-handed
and w th success.
SYMPTOMS WHICH CANNOT BE MISTAKEN

spot on one or both cheeks; the eyes become dull; the pupils dilate; an azure semicircle

The universal'success which has attended the administration of this Preparation has been
such as to warrant us in pledging ourselves to the public to RETURN THIE MONEY
in every instance where it should prove ineffectual; " Providing the symptoms attending
the sickness of the child or adult should warrant the supposition of worms being the cause.
In all cases the medicine to be given IN STRICT ACCORDANCE WITH THE DIREC-
TIONS.

MERCURY in any form; and that it is an innocent preparation not capable of doing the
