From an ad in the New York Daily Times, January 28, 1854:
“Caution to the Public — Beware of Humbugs and false certificates in favor of quack nostrums, and remember that HOBENSACK’S WORM SYRUP is acknowledged by all to be the most safe an effectual remedy now in use for the removal of worms; and as that is now proven without a shadow of a doubt to be the cause of all disease, no time should be lost by those suffering from weak appetite, giddiness in the head, sickness and sourness of the stomach, in making use of this great remedy…”

Golly, if that’s all it takes to end the epidemic of giddiness of the head! And it makes the second appearance of worm syrup in this publication.
