Herbal Extract, I find it to be a skilfully prepared vegetable preparation, possessing the properties of the plants from which it is derived in a highly con centrated state, a fact which I have veri fied by evaporating a fluid; drachm placed in a watch glass over a spirit lamp. On weighing the result, a dark green extract, I found the weight to be 14J grains. On further submitting the extract to analysis I found it to be rich in tannin.

These Oakes are principally prepared from' Herbs',' ahd do not contain any dan - gerously active.ingredients. They have a‘ wonderful effect in curing children, as well as grown persons, by removing the worms. They - have been with grea suc cess introduey, into the principal families' in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. They are guaranteed to do away, in a very short time, with many serious complaints like Bronchitis, Piles, Ulcers,, Ulcerated Throats,'etc.*, if taken, in time, as these sicknesses are often caused by worms of all kinds, espeoiolly ' by the Tape, Worm, and by the moat dangerous Thread Worm, which, if not destroyed in time, will' sooh create the, hardly-curafcle Worm Fever. The smallest, the Thread Worm, will, more than any other worm . penetrate through all the crevices of the body up to the brain. An example was recently wit nessed, 1 where a child falling continually into fits (the parents; not knowing'the cause) at last died with the brain affected by the too fatal Thread Worm! Still more recently there , was a case, a grown man whose seat was affected by the Thread Worm, and , who, after, trying many sorts of remedies, without effect was directly relieved by a dose of DR HEILBRON’S Worip. Cakes.



There are cases where the worms come away that they almost can be counted ; then often they come away in whole clots, and sometimes in a thick and_slimy stuff, and although;not so perceptible; still they ‘are caused to leave by Dr Heilbron's Worm Cakes. And there have been other cases where children affected with Worms, when coughing, or sneezing, do discharge them through the mouth and nose. . The symptoms of Worms are generally as follows :—Lassitude,. Giddiness, De pression bf Spirits, Impaired Appetite (which if. not acted against, will engender diseases of the bile). Disorder of' the Stomach and Digestive * Organs, Sick Headaches, Vomiting, , Disturbed, Sleep; and 'many more serious'complaints; in cluding Fite; of which last many persons have been cured by thfcse ! Worm Cakes. No time should be lost in removing these Worms, elsb the consequence will be seri ous, as they will increase in size and quantity, and ultimately spread through out the intestines. If ‘ VVbrma are ne glected for a time they will do so much damage as to make it beyond human skill to restorei and reorganise the system of digestive organs. j DIRECTIONS FOR USB. | The quantity of these Worm Cakes to be taken at a dose depends mostly bn the age and constitution of the patient. In most cases a couple of doses will drive the worms away for many years, if not en-; tiroly. :As a atandard : A dose for* a child Up to 2 years will be half, a Cake ; from 2 to,4years old, one whole Cake;.from 4{ to 8 years, one Cake and a half; from 8 to: 14, two Cakes; and so to increase with the age, but never more than four Cakes! at one dose. Grown females may gene-, rally take three Cakes at a dpse, and grown men four Oakes, according to con stitution. The most effective way of using, these Worm Cakes is by taking the dose before going to bed, and on the following morning to take a cup of hot tea before breakfast.



I am not certain how long I may stay in this town, and as these Worm: Cakes can bo obtained at a very small ex pense families will do well to have always a small supply of them at their houses.
