DEAR EsEY:-UPon the principles Of justice
and humanity, am induced to ask your permission
TO insert this communication in your paper believ
ing, as do, that it may be the means of preven-
ting untimely sorrow in many happy household.
On Friday last, having been for several days pre-
vlous absent from my family, found, on my re-
turn nome, that my infant aged about Is months,
was quite unWell, from some unknown cause
supposed to be teething. Upon an examination,
however | was of the opinion that her indispos-
itaon proceeded fromaworms; and having been told
oy respectable physician that Winer,s Cana
dlan tefmifuge was a sovereign remedy against
TINS terrible enemy of children, was induced to
give it trial, reluctantly, by the acquiescence Of
my family Physician.
On the following morning, Saturday COM
menced administering it by directions, save in
quantity, beingafraid to give the amount of pres
cription. was unable to detect my impression
occasoned by it until late in the afternoon Of that
day; and should not then, but for the discharge
Of some thirteen worms, varying in length from
two and half to six inches This thought
remarkable number for a nursing infant. Bat, to
my great amazement, about one o'clock the next
morning was aroused from my 81 amber to witness
the incredible number Of one hundred and thirty
six from one evacuation.
Before breakfast the next morning, Sunday
but one small dose was administered, which was
followed by the discharge Of fifty during the day.
The next day, Monday none administered;
put stI occasional discharges occurred during the
day, varying in size and quantity as described.
i On Tuesday morning following, more small
dose was administered, making in all five doses Of
quarter of a teaspoonfu instead of half as pres
cribed by the label of directions. In all. the little
creature has discharged to this date, the rise of
three hundred worms, a majority of which will
average five or six inches in length, and is run
ming about as usual with returning evidences of
good health and spirits. Having met with such as
tonishing effects in the of my infant, was in
duced to use the hermitage six other children
under my protection, varying in age from two TO
ten years old and in every case save one that Of
the oldestl the like happy results have been pro-
dnced.
These facts elected, LIST, because of my anti
patty heretofore to nostrums Of every kind /; and,
ID, because my experience has convinced me that,
in the experiment have made with WIner's Ca.
madam Vermifuge, it is due to suffering human
ity, well as the manufacturer of the medicine,
to make public the results of my observation.

more than any of the remedies, called, that
