7 is a fact, established beyond the shadow
Il of doubt, by the experience and testimo-
ny of the most eminent physicians more than three
fourths of the diseases with which children are
afflicted, are caused by worms, and thousands OF
children die annually from those diseases, which the
cause is either not known or attributed to some-
thing else. Various are the preparations which
have been recommended as remedies for 1svorms,
but experience has proved them all moreor less
Intellectual; the end however has at length been at
tanned, and remedy found which has never failed
to destroy worms, wherever they have existed.
This assertion is supported by the testimony Of the
most eminent physicians and respectable individu-
ais in the country. The remedy is.

which indicate the existence of the worms in the
bowels are as follows the countenance is PALE ola
leaden color, and sufused with occasional fushes;
the eyes 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
voracious others feeble and in some 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 Winers Cana

How to Treat Women.

In the opinion Of Sam Slick, the famous
clock maker, women are critters Of mixed
character-in general more good than bad
about 'em, though sometimes spoiled like
young horses, in trainin'. He says. therc
never was good husband that warnt good
horseman. Women are various.
"Some stop, aud won't 60. Treat 'em as
did a hoss once who wouldn't draw up hill.
I set off from Slickville once with a regular
vixen. to put her through her facin's, at three
o'clock in the mornin', and took books and
cigars and my dinner with me, to be ready for
inaction as il was fine weather.
"WelI. two miles from hum was a high
hill, and as usual, my hoss stopped short. lay
back in the breechin, and wouldn't bulge an
inch. She thought she was agoin' to have a
regular built frolic. and intended she should
She wisked her TAIL laid back hor cars, and
looked wicked, athinkin the moro you wallop
me, the more | won't go; AMI I'll upset you
and break shaft If can; but she didn't
know what was in store for her.
Don't you hope you may get the chance =
says l.
$50 threw down the reins lit my cigar,
and began 70 read, and took no more notice Of
her than if she was in the stable. When
twelve o'clock came, she looked round, as much
as to say, if you amt agoin' to fight, will you
make friends, old boy +! Well / took no notice;
eat my dinner, and l turned to agin and be-
gan TO read. Well. as the sun was goin' down,
She began to get dreadful Uneasy aud 6dgety,
and to put one foot before the other. but L
stopped her, aud called out, 'Whoh" At
last, she got very impatient, but | held on till
she should take the word from me. Finally
| took up the reins gave her a lick Of the
whip, and away she went up the HILL, as if sho
smelt oats at tho top Of it; aud to shew her
what fool she was Idroyc her twenty miles
straight on eond, afore hauled up. She new
er baked at hill again.
