A CHOKING CHILD. CONVULSIONS AND BLACK IN THE FACE FROIV3 STOMACH WORMS. FIVE EXPELLED BY ONE DOSE. The terrible sufferings which a child afflicted with stomach worms lice endured is told in this statement made by Mrs C. A. Madden, of Kumijoug, N.S.W. Her little boy, at the age of 16 months, became very irritable and cruse, and the doctor attributed the cause to stomach worms. The child became so bad that on three or four occasions it went into convulsions and almost choked, owing to the worms passing up. to the throat. Various treatments were 'ned wall practically no success until Comstock’s “Dead Shot” Worm Pellets were used with the following marvellous results. These are Mrs Madden’s own words:—“ For some six mouths,’’ writes Mrs C. A. Madden, of Kurrajoag, N.S.W., “my little buy, now aged one y<gr and ten months, has suffered from Stomach Worms, which the doctor attributed to the use of impure water. Until lie was 15 months’ told he enjoyed very good health, but subsequently he became very irritable and cross, and later on he was examined by a doctor, who stated that the cause was Stomach Worms. Various tiefCiner.ts were tried, and on one occasion a Stomach Worm was jessed' from toe I owels. The evacuations from the bowels were always stained with blood, and th? motions were quite unnatural. On three or four occasions the child was almost choked and went into convulsions, and almost black in the face, through the Worm passing up the throat, and 1 had to force my finger down the throat to remove the Worm. Only last week I was strongly advised to try Comstock’s ‘ Dead Shot ’ Worm Pellets, and having obtained a box 1 gave the child a dose in accordance with the instructions, and the same evening five worms, varying in length, the longest 15 inches, were expelled.’’ Comstock's “Dead Shot” Worm Pellets are a purely vegetable preparation for the eradication of Worms in children and adults.
