HOLLOWAY'S
VERMIFUGErsxu
s.az .as.,. CONNECTIONS.


DR.. Holloway, some fifteen years ago,
witnessing the distress oocasioned sickiy g
children in taking the nauseous vermi-
fuges of that day, resolved to annaiyze
them, and from the most effective OF
these remedies succeeded in separating
their active medical properties, pure,
tasteless and . inodoroas.l Then, by
combining these with sugar, and mold
ing them into an agreeable confection,
formed the present POPULAR and EFFEc-
TIVE VERMIFUGE known as
Holloway's Vermifuge Connections
Which have almost entirely superseded
the old nauseous Vermifuges, TO the de-
light of the poor little sufferers. 1t con.
tains calomel or other poisonous in
gradients.
soDhighly esteemed is shis popular
Vermifuge by the profession, that all
intelligent physicians who know of
them, prescribe them in preference to
other remedies, rs not only more pleas
ant to take but more effective to cure.
Parents and guardians, having the
care of children, should keep them
family medicine; for they not only Grad
... icate Worms-those pests of childhood
but correct any arrangement of the
digestive organs, so prevalent with chill
dren.

Special Message in the Case Case q !
Stanton.


The Prcsident's message, sent 70 the
Senate, giYi0g lis reasons for snspeDding
Stanton, is regarded as mastery and won
derfully shrewd document. The President
quotes Stanton's s reply to his request that
Stanton resign, wherein Stanton says that
considerations Of a high public character
lead him to withholding his resignation ph-
til the next meeting Of Congress. This,
the President holds, was not only Q declar.
alton, but defiant and utterly wanting in
the respect due from Stanton to his supe-
rior officer. The point is made that Stan.
ton could not appeal to the law creating
the War Department, because that Nv
gives the President the right to remove
Stanton. The tenure Of Office bill alone
supported Stanton, but that law did not
compel Stanton to retain the Office. The
President argues the necessity OF unity and
harmony among his constitutional advisers,
and alIudes TO bis having, with one excep-
ton, retained the Cabinet Of his predeces-
sor. He states, incidentally, that the Cab,
met was unanimous on his policy OF recon;
struction, and upon the unconstitutionality
|.of the tenure Of Office bill. Stanton hav-
ing been United States Attorney, was
specially consulted, and was emphatic and
absolute in his condemnation Of the bill as
unconstitutional. The most pointed and
specific charge refers to the New Orleans
riot. According to the narrative, Gen.
Baird reported to Stanton the danger ol
the riot, and asked advise. Stanton not
only withheld instructions to Baird, but
kept his dispatch from the President and
This Cabinet until after the occurrence ol
the riot. The President holds that had
Stanton acted himself, 0. had the message
from Baird been made known to his supe
riors, the riot would have been prevented
He produces q letter from Sheridan to the
effect that had be tSheridaD) been advised
of danger Of a riot it could have been avoid
led. The President concludes The pub
lie cannot complain Of the change, becaus'
the iudicious measures Of the new Secreta
ry have already saved many millions to th'
4 public Treasury.
