HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within Sixteen years past cured an immense number of persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of vari- ous dangerous complaints arising from WORMS, and from ob- structions or foulness in the stomach and bowels .-
THIS medicine bears no analogy whatever to others of similar title, o commonly complained of as operating with violence ; on the con- rary, a particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to very age and constitution ; contains nothing but what is perfectly anocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most elicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should o worms exist in the body ; but will without pain or griping cleanse he stomach and bowels of whatever is foul of offensive, and thereby revent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are articularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humours and erup- ons; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildes! urgative that can be used on any occasion.

DESCRIPTION OF WORMS. And the Symptoms by which they are known.
WORMS which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat white worm; and lastly, the Tænia or tape worm : so called from its resemblance to tape -- this is often many yards long, and is full of joints-it is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning ; bad and corrupted gums; itching in the nose and about the seat ; convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech ; starting, and grinding of the teeth in sleep ; ir- regular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious ; purging,"with slimy and fœtid stools ; vomiting ; large and hard belly ; pains and sickness at the stomach ; pain's in the head and thigh, with lowness of spirits ; slow fever, with small and irregular pulse ; a dry cough ; excessive thirst ; sometimes pale and unheal- . thy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have im- mediate recourse to Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season will effectually prevent " the vomiting and purging of children," a dreadful disorder, which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our citizens. It is likewsie the mildest and most certain remedy known, and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness ; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application-not being perform- ed, in Europe, nobody knows where-but at home.
TAPE WORM.
MR. SAMUEL, FULLER, Inn-keeper on the Hartford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began, twelve months ago, to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which.increased fast in size aud strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions, and intole- rable pains resembling the gnawing and tearing of his howels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful ap- prehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation ;
2
3
his appetite declined rapidly, and with that his strength so that he was unable to attend to any business ; when he heard of some excel- lent cures performed by Hamilton's Worm Lozenges, he took a large dose; which brought away about FOUR YARDS (now in the posses - sion of H. Lec )-But a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour. Application was made for more of the medicine, with advice ; from which resulted the total expulsion of this formidable enemy in several pieces, which ha supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few weeks have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and he himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject.
Although Hamilton's Worm Lozenges produce such powerful effects when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their ope- ration on the human body, even when taken in large doses as Mr. Filler will testify. Their peculiar mildness is abundantly evident in the following cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, of Yorktown, (Penn.) LETTER
From the Rev. J. Molther, Minister of the Moravian Church in Yorktown.
DEAR SIR,
Yorktown, Jan. 4th, 1802.
Doctor Hamilton's Lozenges having been recommended to m'e as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether, by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which to. accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. - My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time, in short he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines adminis- tered, until I gave him two doses of the Lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance, to all appearance a mere mucus, but upon close inspection, quite replete with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms, v. hich usually afflict children, came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean has got & fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions i have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly- ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines Upon the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its urain object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a state of digestion, by carrying off that
4
bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults. I am, sir, your most obedient servant, JOIIN MOLTHER.
From Mr. William Jenkins.
SIR-In July last, the dysentery or bloody-flux made its appearance In my family, of which one of my children and a servant boy died. Another child and a servant girl were labouring under it at the same time. The former we supposed might be troubled-with worms, and were advised to try Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges. The lo- zenges I procured from you, using them according to the directions, with an effect that astonished me, and which may appear almost in- credible. I can safely say the child voided nearly a quart of worms at one time. I then gave them to the servant girl in a confirmed flux, of which she soon after recovered. My wife had the dysentery, and I myself was threatened with it; we both used the lozenges, with a success much to our satisfaction. From humane motives, I make this communication, which you are welcome to make public. As a worm- destroyer, and as an evacuant, I think the lozenges extremely useful. Yours, WILLIAM JENKINS, West Manchester.
To Dr. JOHN SPANGLER, Nov. 16, 1801.
From David Cassat, Esq. Attorney at Law.
SIR-I have, in several instances of late, had reason to believe that my children were afflicted with worms, and after trying other reme- dies to no purpose, have administered Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges ; the consequences have uniformly been, that the symptoms were immediately removed, and the children restored to their usual health. This happened, in some cases, even where the advice and aid of physicians have failed. I think I can from sufficient experience say, that the lozenges are the most efficacious remedy now in use for worms, as well as other ordinary complaints of children, such as re- laxation of the bowels, indigestion, loss of appetite, &c. You are at liberty to publish the above, if you think proper.
DAVID CASSAT.
To Dr. John Spangler, Yorktown, Nov. 9, 1801.
Communicated by Mr. G. Dawson, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to Mr. DAWSON.
SIR-A son of mine aged five years, was a few months ago, taken very ill of a worm fever. I applied to a doctor of respectability in this place, whose prescriptions were duly administered, without producing the desired effect ; the child became worse, so that I despaired of his recovery, when reading in the Carlisle Gazette, certificates of cures
5
performed by Hamilton's Worm Lozenges, I immediately purchased a packet from you, by the use of which he passed a quantity of worms and slimy matter, and in a short time perfectly recovered. Gratitude to you, and a regard to the public good, induce me to send you this account, which you may publish, if you please, that others afflicted with similar complaints may have recourse to that invaluable medi- cine. JOHN SMITH.
Should any person wish to have more particular information on this subject, I will with pleasure satisfy their inquiries, by applying. to me in Carlisle. J. S.
I certify that a daughter of mine; aged sixteen months, was a short time since taken very ill with complaints, which I was convinced from the symptoms, were occasioned by worms. I tried every remedy I could hear of, without giving her any relief. The childgrew worse, and became quite emaciated, when hearing of the cures performed by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges, I purchased a packet from Mr. Dawson, and gave them according to the printed directions. She passed a quantity of worms and slime, and is now perfectly recovered. A child of a neighbour of mine, having had similar complaints, got from me part of what remained of the lozenges, after performing the above cure, by which a similar cure was effected.
The above cases can be certified by a number of my neighbours, who were witnesses of the cure.
JAMES HALL.
AFFIDAVIT.
MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at No. 47 Walker-street, Fell's Point, in the city of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh oath, that the following statement is just and true :
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls, the one live, and the other three years of age, were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then suppo- sed, but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms. They were frequently troubled with convulsive fits, and violent starting's in their sleep, and with almost continually vomiting and purging, parti- cularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success, which only increased-our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery. The youngest soon appeared almost devoid of anima- tion and scarcely an inhabitant of this world." In this distressing mo- ment. I was told that Hamilton's Worm. Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few. hongs
A 3
produced the most desirable effects. The eldest voided a great nupi- ber of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch long, in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skin and slimy matter I re- peated the dose agreeably to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though five months have nearly elapsed since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole seemed to be inevitable. Sworn before me, this 26th day of Sept. 1799.
