STOMACH WORMS.
A MENACE TO CHILDREN
Stomach Worms are undoubtedly the most invidious kind of all. They inhabit the stomach and inflict great havoc upon their victim. They deprive the victim of half the nutriment he consumes, and -when the stomach is empty gnaw the sides of the stomach causing such terrible sensations as to often cause faintncss. Aperient medicines have no effect upon them, for when any purgative is taken they fasten themselves to the walls of the stomach by a groove running down their side. The only method of dislodging Stomach Worms is to starve the system and take Comstock's "Dead Shot" Worm Pellets. The worms are weakened by the want of food, and are induced to take whatever is taken into the etomach. Comstock's "Dead Shot" Worm Pellete contain the properties which sicken and disable the- worms, and a dose of Dr. Moree's Indian Root Pil.'e will clear them out of the system. The Wife of a well-known Waitara, N.Z., storekeener, writes:—"Last week we received the packet of Comstock's 'Desd Shot' Worm Pellete, and I am glad to say that they have proved wonderfully effective. My little boy, aged 5. for whom we procured the pellets, after one dose expelled a. stomach worm measuring 10J inches in length." Comstock's " Dead Shot" 4 Worm Pellets are a purely vegetable preparation for the eradication of Worms in children and adults. For sal© by all chemists and storekeepers, price 2e 9d per packet, or will be sent post paid at the same price by The W. H. Comstock Co., Ltd., Farish street, Wellington, N.Z. 9a
