DEAR VEsEY:-Upon the principles of justice
and humanity, | am induced to ask your permission
to insert this communication in your paper, beiev
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 Is months,
quite unwell, from some unknown cause
supposed to be teething. Upon examination,
however l was of the opinion that her indispos-
ition proceeded fromsworms and having been told
by a respectable physician that Winer's Cana
dian Yermifuge was a sovereign remedy against
this terrible enemy of children, was induced to
give it trial. reluctantly, by the aequieseenee of
my family Physician.
On the following morning, Saturday COM
meneed administering it by directions, save in
quantity, beingafraid to give the amount of pres
cription. was unable to detect any impression
oceasoned 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. But, to
my great amazement, about o'clock the next
morning was aroused from my 81 Imber to witness
the incredible number of one hundred and thirty
six from one evacuation.
Before breakfast the next morning, (Sunday J
but one 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 discharges occurred during the
day, varying in size and quantity described.
On Tuesday morning following, small
dose administered, making in all five doses of
quarter Of a teaspoonful instead of half pres
eribed 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 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 case of my infant was in
duced to use the Vermifuge six other children
under my protection, varying in age from two to
ten years old, and in every one, that of
the oldest) the like hspPy results have been pro-
duced.
These facts are ELECTED, list, because of my anti
pathy heretofore to nostrums of every kind F.; and,
ID, because my experience has convinced me that,
in the experiment have made with WIner's Ca
madam VeFmifuge, it is due to suffering human
ity, as well as the manufacturer of the medicine
to make public the results Of my observation.
W. II. VASSER.
This Vermifuge is free from objection to all
other medicines it con tains neither mercury,
norany of its corrosive oxides and yet it is more
expedi tious and certain in its expulsory action,
more than any of the remedies, called, that
are impregnated with mineral poison.
Be particular and remember the name, SsWIn-
er's Canadian Vermifuge,'' this is the only
article that can be relied on.
