Adults Contract Children's
Diseases
Adults can, and do, contract many
children's disea^o*. And. usually, they
suiter from tliein much more than
children do For instance, many adults
contract worms, un ailment usually
associated with children Sometimes
they surer intensely and take expen-
sive medical treatments, without reali-
sing that worms are the cause of their
troubles. Yet. the symptoms are the
same as in children, lose of appetite
and weight, grinding the teeth and rest-
less sleep, itching of the nose and anus,
rind abdominal pains. And, the same
medicine that surely and harmlessly ex-
pel* round and pin worms from children
will do the same for adults — White’s
