INCORRECT DIAGNOSIS.

TONIC PRESCRIBED FOR WELLKNOWN SYDNEY MAN WHO HAS LOST THIRTY POUNDS IN WEIGHT.—WORMS THE CAUSE. Th© striking case of Mr G. B. Renton, of 14 Sir John Young's Crescent, Sydney, and connected with a well-known George street. wallpaper house, illustrates two things: One that doctors are not infallible, and tho other that adults are troubled with worms just as children arc, and that Comstock's "Dead Shot" Worm Pellets are a most effective remedy for this most unpleasant complaint. The letter of Mr Rentcn is purely voluntary and freely given, and simply states tho tacts, which ho will at any time confirm. "Some titno ago I began losing weight in an alarming manner." writes Mr Ronton "so much so that I went to see a doctor, who examined mo and came to tho conclusion it was duo to over work and worry. I continued to lose weight and also suffer from peculiar internal pains. I became very anxious at the continued loss of weight, and thinking I might be going into a decline went to a second doctor, who examined mo thoroughly, and gave about the same opinion as the former one had done, and prescribed a tonic. One night going home in the train I read one of your advertisements giving symptoms* of people who have worms. The symptoms given strongly coincided with my own. and I determined to test the question. I accordingly procured a packet of your Comstock's 'Dead Shot' Worm Pellets, and took eight tablets, and in the morning four Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills, and to my intense satisfaction and relief •pr*~sed two very large stomach worms. I took them in a glass and showed them to the doctor who had last examined mc, and who had prescribed the Tonic, and it is needless to say he was surprised at the result. Altogether I lost thirty pounds in two months, due to these worms, and yon may believe mc I was thoroughly alarmed, thinking I might hay,, consumption. I regained all this lost weight immediately I rid my system of the°worms, and am in splendid health at present. These are the simple facte wttich speak for ttenwlves, and I shall be only too pleased to confirm them to any person who doubts their truth. You have my permission to use this for publication.
