NURSING  SYRUP  AND  WORM  LOZENGES. 
The  following  recipes  have  been  sent  to  us  by  Mr.  Henry  C. 
Morse,  pharmaceutist  of  Elmira,  N.  Y.,  with  the  assurance  that 
they  are  the  real  formulse  of  the  preparations  indicated,  and  that 
they  are  at  the  service  of  the  readers  of  the  Journal.  Mr.  M. 
remarks  : — 
"  The  nursing  syrup  is  an  excellent  preparation,  and  is  sold 
quite  extensively  with  us,  not  as  a  patent  medicine,  but  from 
the  large  bottle,  as  we  do  ^  Godfrey's  Cordial,'  being  a  much 
finer  looking  preparation,  not  unpleasant  to  the  taste  and  quite 
as  harmless. 
"  The  '  Worm  Confections  '  might  be  used  in  places  where 
there  is  a  demand  for  reliable  goods  in  that  shape,  and  when  one 
does  not  like  to  recommend  patent  medicines  of  unknown  com- 
position."
