Caption

On back of card: The children's worm medicine so successfully used by Mother Gray, for years a nurse in the Children's Home in New York...If you have a child fretful and cross, with dark circles around the eyes, offensive breath, frequent headaches, constant thirst, pains in the stomach and bowels; or if your child's sleep is disturbed by a hacking cough, and grinding of the teeth, and the child frequently talks during sleep, and on waking is pale and irritable, with irregular bowels and itching and bleeding at the nose...they are as harmless as milk and pleasant to take and never fail...
