WORMS! WORMS!

THIS Worm Remedy possesses advantages over
l. the common Worm syrups or Vermifuges in
use in its being perfectly safe and useful medicine
where there is fever. Here, as purgative it re-
moves the Fever like charm even if there is none
of these animals in the Bowels and where worms
exist, it throws them off the Stools or kills them,
when they, in the latter case, become dissolved and
pass off in this way, without their being noticed
This medicine is
PURELY VEGETABLE, SIMPLE, INNO-
CENT,
Easily taken by children, it being neither nauseous
disagreeable to take. Children after taking the
first dose or two, have frequently been knos to
beg their mothers or nurses to give them more than
the directions recommended.
This Worm medicine like other medicines, is in
tended for immediate use, as appers on the package

THE HIGHLAND DROYER.

Formerly the Highland proprietor accom-
panied his drove to the south with the pro-
ceeds in his sporran, returned home.-A
story relates that one of these Highland pro-
prietors while on his way back to the bor-
der, was Joined on the highway, by well
dressed and civil gentleman, who, while he
talked of the martial spirit of the Highlan-
ders, yet wondered how they dared traverse
the land with SO much gold in their pock-
cts. Yes replied The Highlander, 'but if we
have English gold in our pockets; we have
stout hearts, good hands and Highland
swords to defend it,
Are your weapons, then, SO much su-
perior to the English p asked the gentle
man. '....
You shall judge for yourself' replied the
other, misleading his sword and handing
it to him.
1T is as you say said the stranger,
at the same time posing the weapon in
his hand, as if weighing rather than ad-
miring it.
Take it by the hilt, man. said the
Scot, 'there's right and wrong end to all
shings.'
The man seized it by the hilt, took a
sudden stride forward, and striking the
head from poor Bran, turned 10 the dro-
yer, and said your money or your life
The Scot saw that resistance was hope
less, and refusal would be death. and deIiv-
ering up his sporran, said, who will believe
1t in Breadalbane, that with such good dog.
and such an arm al the sword, an Englishman
had robbed meg
Oh said the robber, syou may rest easy
on that head, for have foiIed better men
than you; besides intend TO bestow mark
on you, to show that you were overpower-
ed. Lay down your hand on that tree
stump
Hope now dawned on the Highlander
He laid his RICH. hand on the stump, bu,
watching the eye of his enemy he Withdrew
i, suddenly and while the blade sunk deep
in the wood, he seized his adversary by the
throat, threw him on the ground, and had
him at his mercy.
Having bound him hard and fast the High
lander regained his sword, took his sporran,
and gave up the hghwayman to the law of
the land. which speedily helped him to q
halter and gibbet, for he was noted
robber, and had long been The terror of the
district.
