Lozenges, prepared by the late Mr. Lee,
feel 1t my duty TO add the following Gu,
rious case to the list Of kable cures
performed by that celebrated medicine.

was taken i'll with those symptoms which
are supposed to denote worms, after Ina
wing tried number Of things which are
SAID TO be good IN such cases, without
any benefit, we had the attendance of
respectable physician but she still con
tinucd TO decline in health, and at the end
her
could not walk, nor keep food on her sto.
mach, 1t W. so extremely disordered
AT this interesting period, one Of our
creomaMursei gbbmended your Lozen.
ges so earnestly, we were induced 10
send TO Mr.. Brch's for box of them
on her taking the third dose, according
to the printed directions, there came from
her living animal about three quar;ers
OF an inch long and of most frightful
appearance, being very white, with
great number of legs, and something
which resembied wings, by which it ap.
Peared TO spring (; and which il did re
