SINGULAR OCCURRENCES.
THE wife OF Mr., VIM. Sgiliwell, mer.
chant, Water street, New-York, had been
in poor state of health for several years
past, and was often confined TO her chant
Der by indisposition her symptoms were
various, though generally <attended with
great debility sometimes they were sup
posed TO indicate dropsy, at others dis.
ease of the liver. Having suffered We
ny severe attack, without obtaining any
relief from her physician, and almost des-
pairing of recovery, she was induced TO
make trial of Hamil,on's Worm Destroy.
ing Lozenges having heard oftheir per-
forming cures in several complaints that
could not be accounted for. Two doses
were taken, which brought away large
great quantity Of matter evidently pie
ces of worms, &c. On taking the third
or fourth dose, an entire animal shaped
like crab, was expelled: its parts were
examined with the aid of microscope,
when the claws, feet, SC. appeared per-
: fectly formed different in but few res
poets from the common crab. Mrs.
Stillwell began from that time TO recover
her health ;--three months have since e
iapsed, aud she has been free from her
former complaints, and has acquired a
degree of health and strength which for
years before she had been stranger to-.
She being free TO extend the knowledge
OF a medicine from which so much bene.
fit has been received, has authorised
Mrs. Lee, the present proprietor, to state
these particulars for the good of others.

TO II. LEE.
Having IN q most singular manner, eg
perienced ia my family the astonishing
efficacy OF Hamilton's Worm Destroying
Lozenges, prepared by The late Mr.. Lee,
! feel it my duty 20 add the following Gu
rious case to the list Of remarkable cures
performed by that celebrated medicine.
My daughter at the age of " months
was taken i'll with those symptoms which
are supposed to denote worms: after ha
wing tried number of thing which are
said to be good in such cases, without
any benefit, we had the attendance of a
respectable physician but she still con
tinucd to decline in health, and at the end
OF sig months became so weak that she
could not walk, nor keep food ON her sto.
mach, it was so extremely disordered.
AT this interesting period, one Of our
neighbours recommended your Lozen.
ges so earnestly, we were induced TO
send to Mr.. Blrch's for box of them /;
on her taking the third dose, according
TO the printed directions, there came from
her a living animal about three quarters
of an inch long and of most frightful
appearance, being very white, with a
great number of legs, and something
which resembled wings, by which il APP
peared to spring and which it did re:
peatedly, TO our great surprise, about the
same distance that small toad can hop
on the ground. Its form was altogether
unknown TO every person who saw it. II
lived in water about | 3 hours. We after.
wards put it in spirits, and it is now in
the possession of DR.. Bleight of this city.
The child grew better from that day in
q very short period began to walk again,
and is now in perfect health.
