Original trade card forms part of: Collection no. 311, History & Special Collections for the Sciences, Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library, UCLA. Reverse side of card shows a girl feeding chickens from her apron. There is a barn in the background. Additional card text: Health for the grown person. Are you troubled with either one or all of the following symptoms? Lowness of spirits, restlessness, sleeplessness, confusion of mind, sour stomach, sick headache, a variable appetite, raising of food after eating, a sense of oppression at the pit of the stomach; a burning or sore sensation of the throat and stomach, with low fever and languor, accompanied by irregularity of the bowels? If so, it is a form of Dyspepsia, a disease productive of more evils, and probably more suffering, than any other, and one that should by no means be neglected. The remedy is to take (not as a worm medicine, but as a general tonic) two teaspoonsful of Dr. Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge, mixed with two tablespoonsful of cold water, immediately after each meal and at bed-time, keeping the bowels gently open with Dr. Jayne's Sanative Pills, and persevering in this course until the disease is removed. Health for children. Has your child a variable appetite, often eating immoderately, craving strange articles, as dirt, chalk, etc.; a habit of picking the nose, excessive thirst, a low fever, a bad breath, pale or sallow complexion, emaciation or wasting away, swelling of the abdomen, great nervousness; fitful sleep, often awaking in terror; grinding of the teeth, twitching of the muscles, a dry cough and headache, accompanied by weakness of the bowels, with cheeks generally flushed? If your child has one or all of these symptoms, it is troubled with Worms, - dreadful pests, - preying on its delicate system until, through general debility and irritation, the constitution is broken down, and distressing complaints, such as St. Vitus' Dance or Convulsions follow, rendering after-life a burden. To save your child, use Dr. Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge, according to the directions accompanying it; remembering that it will not only destroy woems, but through its excellent tonic properties it will rectify the appetite, restore the proper action of the stomach, and rebuild the general health of the child, -qualities peculiar to it, and possessed by no other worm medicine. For Fever and Ague in children the Tonic Vermifuge is exceedingly useful, and withal so palatable as to give the parent no trouble in administering it. Jayne's Expectorant is the cheapest, because the most certain remedy for all Coughs and Colds, Lung and Throat troubles.
