DEAR VEsEY:-Upon the principles of Justice
and humanity, / am induced to ask your permission
to insert this communication in your paper, belev-
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-
vious absent from my family, l found, my re-
turn home, 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-
ition proceeded fromhworms and having been told
by respectable physician that Winer's Cana
dian Vermifuge was sovereign remedy against
this terrible enemy of children, l was induced to
give it trial, reluctantly by the aequiescence 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 any impression
occasioned 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 nursing infant. But, to
my great Amusement, about one o'clock the next
morningI was aroused from my slLmber to witness
the incredible number Of one hundred and thirty
six from one evacuation.
Before breakfast the next morning, Sunday J
but small dose was administered, which was
followed by the discharge Of fifty during the day.
The next day, Monday none was administered
but still occasional discharge occurred during the
day, varying in size and quantity described.
On Tuesday morning following, enc more small
i dose administered making in all five doses of
quarter of teaspoonfu instead of half as pres
erbed by the label Of directions. In ALL the little
creature has discharged to this date the rise of
! three hundred worms, q majority of which viii
average five or six inches in length, and is run
ming about usual with returning evidences of
good health and spirits. Having met with such
tonishing effects in the of my infant was in
duced to use the Vermifuge IN six other children
| under my protection, varying in age from two to
ten years old, and in every save one, that of
the oldest the like happy results have been pro-
/ duced.
These facts are elected, LIST, because Of my anti
pathy heretofore to nostrums of every kind and,
! I'd, 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, as well the manufacturer of the medicine,
to make public the results Of my observation.
! W. H. VASSER.
This vermifuge is tree from one objection to all
other worm medicines it contains neither mercury,
norany of its corrosive oxides and yet it is more
! expeditions and certain in its expulsory action,
more than any of the remedies, so called, that
are impregnated with mineral poison.
BE particular and remember the name, ssW In.

article that can be relied on.
