SINGULAR OCCURRENCES.
THE wife Of Mr. Wm. Stlilweli, mer.

ry severe attack, without Oh aiming. any
relief from her physician, aud almost des
pairing OF recovery, she vas induced to
make trial Of Hamlton's Worm Destroy.

forming cures in several complaints that
could not be accounted for Two doses
we're taken, which brought away a large
worm, nearly half yard in length and
great quantity of matter evidently pie

like crab, was expelled: its parts were

when the claws, feet, SIC. appeared per-

Stlllwell began from that time to recover
her health ;-three months have since e.

TO H. LEE.
Having IN most singular manper, ex
perienced in my family the astonishing
efficacy of Hamilton's Worm Destroying
Lozenges, prepared by the late Mr.. Lee,
feel 1t my duty to add the following GU
, rious case to the list of remarkable cures
performed by that celebrated medicine.
My daughter at the age of IL months
was taken i'll with those symptoms which
are supposed to denote worms after ha
wing tried number of things which ars
said to be good in such cases, without
any benefit, we had the attendance of a
respectable physician bu, she still con-
tinued TO decline in health, and at the end
Of six 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 10 Mr.. Birch's for box of them !;
On her taking The third dose, according
| TO the printed dire ctions, there came from
| her living animal about three quarters
nj an inch long and of a most frightful
appearance. being very white, with a
great number of legs, and something
which resembled wings, by which it APP
peared to spring and which IL did re
peaiedIy, 10 our great surprise, about the
same distance that small toad can hop
on the ground. lis form was altogether
unknown to every person who saw it. II
lived in water about 8 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
a very short period began to walk again,
and is now in perfect health.
Yours. &c. WIN. BRADLEY,
Callo~hIll street, between 9Th and s.h SITS.
Any person may be satisfied Of the &C.
curacy and authenticity Of this singular
occurrence, by making enquiry in the
neighborhood : many of the neighbors
saw the creature alive, and are well ac-
quainted with the above particular.
