Incorrect Diagnosis.

Tonic prescribed for well-known Sydney man who has lost thirty pounds in weight,—Worms the cause. The striking case of Mr G. 11. Kenton, of 14 Sir John Young’s crescent, Sidney, 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 ns 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 ho 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 sec a doctor, who examined me and came to the conclusion it was due to over work and worry. 1 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 a lout the same opinion as the former one had done, and prescribed a tonic. One night going borne 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 tost the question. I accordingly procured a packet of your Cornstock’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 largo stomach worms. I 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 surprised at the result. Altogether I lost thirty pounds in two months, duo to those worms, and you may believe rne I was thoroughly alarmed, thinking I might have consumption. I regained all this lost weight immediately I rid my system of the worms, and am in splendid health at present. These are the simple, facts which speak for themselves, and I shall ho only too pleased to confirm them to any person who doubts their truth. You have my permission to use this for publication.” Comstock’s ‘‘Dead Shot" Worm Pellets are a purely vegetable medicinal preparation for the cradiosffitn of Worms in children and adults.
