ANCHORAGE, Alaska, April 17
—A charging grizzly bear killed
two Anchorage hunters yesterday
outside its cave in a wild area 150
miles northeast of here.
The tragedy apparently oc-
curred when the hunters disturbed ,
the bear as it was ending its win- 1

Fidgeting, nose-picking and a tor-
menting rectal itch are often tell-
tale signs of Pin-Worms . . . ugly
parasites that medical experts say
infest one out of every three per-
sons examined. Entire families
may be victims and not know it.
To get rid of Pin-Worms, these
pests must not only be killed, but
killed in the large intestine where .
they live and multiply. That’s ex-
actly what Jayne’s P-W tablets do
. . . and here’s how they do it:
First—a scientific coating car-
ries the tablets into the bowels be-
fore they dissolve. Then—Jayne’s
modern, medically-approved in-
gradient goes right to work- kills
Pin-Worms quickly and easily.
Don’t take chances with this
dangerous, highly contagious con-
dition. Get genuine Jayne’s P-W
Vermifuge .. . small, easy-to-take
