THE GENUINE
DR. C. McLANE’S
Celebrated American
WORM SPECIFIC
OR
VERMIFUGE.
SYMPTOMS OF WORMS.
The countenance is pale and leaden
colored, with occasional flushes, or
a circumscribed spot on one or both
cheeks; the eyes become dull; the pu
pils dilate; an azure semicircle runs
along the lower eye-lid; the nose is ir
ritated, swells, and sometimes bleeds;
a swelling of the upper lip; occasional
headache, with humming or throbbing
of the ears; an unusual secretion of
saliva; slimy or furred tongue; breath
very foul, particularly in the morning;
appetite variable, sometimes voracious,
with a gnawing sensation of the stom
ach, at others, entirely gone; fleeting
pains in the stomach; occasional
nausea and vomiting; violent pains
throughout the abdomen; bowels ir
regular, at times costive; stools slimy;
not unfrequently tinged with blood;
belly swollen and hard; urine turbid;
respiration occasionally difficult, and
accompanied by hiccough; cough
sometimes dry and convulsive; unfeasy
and disturbed sleep, with grinding of
the teeth ; temper variable, but gener
ally irritable, &c.
Whenever the above symptoms
are found to exist,
DR. C. McLANE’S VERMIFUGE
will certainly effect a cure.
IT DOES NOT CONTAIN MERCURY
in any form; it is an innocent prepara
tion, not capable of doing the slightest
injury to the most tender infant.
The genuine Dr. McLanf.’s Ver
mifuge bears the signatures of C. Mc
I.ane and Fleming Bros, on the
wrapper. -:o:
DR. C. McLANE'S
LIVER PILLS
are not recommended as a remedy “for all
the ills that flesh is heir to,” but in affections
of the liver, and in all Bilious Complaints,
Dyspepsia and Sick Headache, or diseases of
that character, they stand without a rival.
AGUE AND FEVER.
No better cathartic can be used preparatory
to, or after taking Quinine.
As a simple purgative they are unequaled.
BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
■ Each box hasa red wax seal on the lid with
the impression Dr. McLane’s Liver Pills.
Each wrapper bears the signatures of C.
McLANE.and Fleming Br-os.
. Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. Mc
Lane’s Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming
i Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being
full of imitations of the name McLttne,
| spelled differently but same pronunciation.

And the most emiucnt physician hate al

taken in moderate quantil ids is not injurious,
but benetical to the system. Whilst this is
true in the strictest sense of the word, we
wool t cautit n people not to be intemperate
or fall into the belief that all stimulants are
pure. The greater part of the Whiskies offer
