which indicate the existence of the worms in the
bowels are as follows the countenance is pale, of
eaden color, and sufused with occasiona! tiushes
the ewes are heavy and dull, the breath fetid the
upper lip swollen, itching in the nostrils, which
cause the patient to pick his nose; the sleep is dis
turbed the patient often awakening in great fright
and is liable to starting and grinding the teeth the
appetite exceedingly irregular, being sometimes
voracious others feeble and in instances it is
depraved.
To the following certificates numerous others
might be added, but it is believed that these are
sufficient to establish the fact that Winer's Cana
dian Vermifuge is superior remedy for worms.

Canadian Vermifuge and with the most happy re-
suits. In my own family, and in every case which
has come to my knowledge the expulsion of worms
has followed the administering OF your Vermifuge,
and every one here prefer it to any other as its ef-
