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. B. Ren ton, of 14. Sir John Young's-crescent, Sydney, and connected with a wellknown George-street wallpaper house, illustrates two things: One that doctors are not infallible, and the other thatadults are troubled with worms just as children are, and that Comstock's "Dead Shot” Worm Pellets are a most effe - tire remedy for this most unpleasant complaint. The letter of Mr. Renton is purely voluntary and freely given, and simply stales the facts, which we will at any time confirm. "Some time ago I began losing weight in an alarming manner," writes Mr. Ren ton—"so much so that I went to see adoctor, who examined me. and came to the conclusion it was due to over work and worry. I continued to lose weight, and also suffer from peculiar internal pains. I became veryanxious at tile continued loss of weight, and thinking 1 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 th. train, I read one of your advertisements giving symptoms of people who have worms. The symptoms given strongly coincided with my own, and I deter mined to test the question. I accordingly procured a packet, of your Com stock's ‘Dead Shot’ Worm Pellets, ant took eight tablets, and in the morning four Dr. Morse's Indian Root P i's, and to my intense satisfaction and relief passed two very large stomach worms. I took them in a glass and showed them to the doctor who had last examined me. and who had prescribed th? Tonic, and it is needles- to say he was surprised at the result. Altogeth r, I lost thirty pounds in two month*, da? to these worms, and you may l>elieve me, 1 was thoroughly aalrmcd. thinking 1 n right have consumption. I regained all this lost weight immediately 1 rid my system of the worms, and am ie splendid health at present. These are the simple facts which speak for them selves, and I shall l>e only too pleased to confirm them to any person who doubts their truth. You have my per mission to use this for publication."
