They have beeti 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, especiolly by the Tape Worto, and by the moat dangerous Thread Worm, which, if not destroyed in time, will soon create the hardly-curable'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, 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 1 man whose seat was affected by the Thread Worm, and who, after trying many sorts of remedies, without effect directly roliuvotl by a-dose of ” T • DR HEILBRON’S Worm 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 Ito leave by Dr Heilbron'a Worm Cakes. And there have been othei cases-where children affected with Worms, when coughing, or. sneezing, do discharge them through the mouth and pose. The symptoms of Worms are genbrally as follows Lassitude, Giddiness, 1 De pression *, of (Spirits, Impaired Appetite (which, if ppt acted against, will engender diseases of ~ the bile), Disorder -of the Stomach and' Digestive- Organs, Sick Headaches, Vomiting, Disturbed Sleep, and many, t more serious complaints,' ‘in cluding il'itjS!, of (Which last many, persons have, been-cured .by .these Worm .Cakes.

In most cases a couple bf doses will drive the worms ■ away • for many years, if pot en tirely. -Asa ‘standard : A dose for a ; child, itp to 2 years' will be J half a Cake ; from 2 tp 4 years old, - one whole Cake ; from to 8 years, oner Cake and a half ; from 8 to 14, two Oakes and so to increase! with the age, but Merer more than four Cakes at onb’ dbse. ( Grown females' may gene rally take three "Oakes at a and grown ineti four Cakes, according to con stitution. ( The most effective wky 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. “ ;;
