JJR HEILBRON’S WORM OAKES., These Oakes are principally prepared from Herbs, and' do dpt contain any dan geronsly active ingredients.' ’ They have a? wonderful effect in curing children, as well as grown persona,' by removing the worms. They have been With grea she-" 1 ' i-ess introduey , into the principal families in Europe, Australia; and New Zealand.) They are guaranteed to do away, in a very shdrt'timej with niutny serious like Bronchitis,' Piles* Throats, etc.', if taken in' time, as these' sicknesses are often caused by of' all kinds,, especiolly. by the Tjis(s 1 Worm and by thff moat Thread Worm, which* if not destroyed in will soon create the hardly-ciirafcle World'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 decently wit-, nessed, where a child falling continually into fits (the parents not knowing the Cause) at last died with the Affected by the too fatal Thread Worth. Still more recently there was a case, a grown man whose seat. was affected' by -the * ThrCad Worm, and who, after trying many sorts of remedies, without effect was directly relieved by a dbae of 1)R HEILBRON’S ' Worm Oakes;



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 Heilbrons 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 of 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 Fits, of which last many persons have been cured by these Worm Oakes;' No. time should be lost in removing these ’’Worms, else the consequence will be seri ous, as they will increase 1 in : size and quantity, and ultimately spread through-* mid the intestines, >•> If Worms are ne glected for a time they will do so much damage as to make 1 it beyond human skill toi restore ’and reorganise • the system of digestive organs. , , i DIRECTIONS FOB USB. . . , T!
