WORMS IN CHILDREN. A Very Prevalent Complaint Although intestinal and worm* are one of the moat common ailmenta in children, yet there are bat few mother! who understand its nature or realise Its seriousness, or have any idea as to its cause. It is not alone the irritation and annoyance canaed by these parasitical animals that infest the stomach and bowels, but the more serions consequences which will follow that must be kept ih view. From the highly organised and sensitive parts which they occupy, worms give . rise to great constitutional derangements and produce a variety of symptoms, more particularly affecting the stomach and the head. Many eases of convulsions, epilepsy, hysteria, Bt> Vitus' Dance, melancholia, nervous diseases, and even insanity have resulted from this cause. Grinding of the teeth, violent movements of theJ&gs and arms, and excessive flox„of causes frequent effoi»Tlo swallow during sleep debote the presence of worms. Whoa awake there is a constant desire to pick the nose and scratch the anus. The bowels are irregular, and frequently the movement of the worms onuses diarrhoea, alternating with oootfveneas. The breath to usually foul, and the child is languid and peevish. The tongue pretematuriHly red or clean, and covered with a white slimy mucus. A short, dry cough ; ire quently slimy stools (excretion from thi bowels) ; emaciation t slow fever; irregular pulse; and sometimes convulsions. Loss of appetite frequently alternates with a craving for food. Worms require a specific medicine, and there is ho remedy so effective as Comstock’s "Dead Shot" Worm Pellets.
