INCORRECT DIAGNOSIS.

TONIC PRESCRIBED FOE WELLKNOWN SYDNEY MAN WHO HAS LOST THIRTY POUNDS Hv WEIGHT.—WORMS THE CAUSE. The striking case of Mr G. B. Renton, of 14 Sir John Young’s Crescent, Sydney, and connected with a well-known George street - wallpaper house, illustrates two things: One, that doctors are not infallible, and the other that adults are troubled with worms just as children are, and that Comstock’s “Dead Shot" Worm Pellets are a most effective remedy for this most unpleasant complaint. The letter of Mr Renton is purely voluntary and freely given, and simply states the facts, which he will at any time confirm. “Some time ago I began losing weight in an alarming manner,” writes Mr Renton, “so much so that I went to see a doctor, who examined me and came to the conclusion it was due to overwork and worry. I continued to lose weight and also suffer from peculiar internal pains. I became very anxious at the continued loss of weight, and thinking I might be going into a decline went to a second doctor, who examined me thoroughly and gave about the same opinion as the former one had done, and prescribed a tonic. One night going home in the train I read one of your advertisements giving symptoms of people who have worms. The symptoms given strongly coincided with my own, and I determined to test the question. I accordingly procured a packet of your Comstock’s 'Dead Shot* Worm Pellets, and took eight tablets, and in the morning four Dr Morse’s Indian Root Pills, and to my intense satisfaction and relief passed two very large stomach worms. 1 took them in a glass and showed them to the doctor who had last examined me and who had prescribed the Tonic, and it is needless to say he was surorised at the result. Altogether I lost thirty pounds m two months, due to these worms, and you may believe me I was thoroughlv alarmed, thinking I might have consumption. I regained all this lost weight immediately I rid my system of the worms, and am m splendid health at present. These are the simple facts which speak for themselves, and I shall bo only too pleased to confirm them to any person who doubts their truth Ton my'Permission to use this for pubComstock’s “Dead Shot" Worm Pellets are a purely vegetable medicinal preparatioa for the eradication of Worms m children and adults.
