THE DANGER OF WORMS.

+, Stomach and Intestinal Worms are one of the most common complaints throughout* Australasia. Indigestion is a primary cause, or they nuiy bo produced by Constipation, or through the eating of tainted food or food improperly cooked. There is also the possibility of their introduction into the system in the form of lyets or germs in fruit- and meat, so that all classes of th? community, irrespective of age, are liable to this complaint?. It is not alone the irritation and annoyance caused by these parasitical animals that infest the stomach and bowelb, but the more eeri< ous consequences which follow that must be kept in view. From the highly organised and sensitive parts which they occupy, Worms give rise to great constitutional derangements and produce 1 variety of symptoms, more particularly affecting the stomach and head. Many cases of Convulsions, Epilepsy, Hysteria, St. -V-itus' Dance, Melancholia, Nervous Diseases, and even Insanity, have resulted from this causa. If the patient has. a tendency to any weakness, the neglect to eradicate the worms from the system must inevitably cause the emaciation of the whole body and a general breakdown of the whole organisation. Comstock's "Dead Shot" Worm Pellets are a purely vegetable preparation for the eiudic-ation of Worms iv children and adults.
