DEAR VEsEY:-Upon the principles Of justic
and humanity, am induced to ask your permissio
to insert this communication in your paper, beiey
ing, as | do, that it may be the means Of proven
ting untimely sorrow in many happy household.
On Friday last, having been for several days pre-
vious absent from my family, found, on my re
turn home, that my infant, aged about 10 month'
was quite unwell, from some unknown cause
supposed to be teething. Upon an examination
however | was of the opinion that her indispos
ition proceeded fromawOrms; and having been toll
by respectable physician that Winer's Cana
dian Vermifuge was a sovereign remedy agains
this terrible enemy of children, was induced b
give it trial, reluctantly, by the scquiescence 0
my family Physician.
On the following morning, Saturday | com
menced administering it by directions, save il
quantity, beingafraid to give the amount Of pres
cription. was unable to detect any impression
occasoned by it until late in the afternoon Of tina
day; and should not then, but for the discharg
of some thirteen worms, varying in length iron
two and half to six inches. This thought
remarkable number for a nursing infant. But, t
my great amaEement, about one o'clock the mex
morning was aroused from my 81 amber to witne.
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 wa
followed by the discharge Of fifty during the day
The next day, Monday was administered
but still occasional discharges occurred during tn
day, varying in size and quantity as described.
On Tuesday morning following, more small
dose administered, making in all i've doses o
quarter of a teaspoOnful instead of half as pres
crbed by the label of directions. In ALL the it'll
creature has discharged to this date, the rise 0
three hundred worms majority af which vii
average five or six inches in length, aud is run
ming about as usual with returning evidences O
good health and spirits Having met with such as
tOnishing effects in the of my infant, was in
duced to use the Yermifuge On six other childre
under my protection, varying in age from two t
ten years old, and in every case save one, that
the Oldest the like happy results have been pro
duced.
These facts are ELECTED, LIST, because Of my anti
patty heretofore to nostrums Of every kind and
ID, because my experience has convinced me thai
in the experiment have made with WIner's Ca
madam Vermifuge, it is due to suffering human
ity, as well as the manufacturer of the medicine
to make public the results Of my observation.

other worm medicines it contains neither mercury
nor'any of its corrosive oxides and yet il is NOR
