The louisiana Military InstitEte with
the Rev. C. C. Kramer, B. A. as princi-
pal and Captain E. Sumter Taylor as

graduate,Of st. Stephens College, one
of the institutions embraced in the Uni

unless it was worms He told his attending ply
sician his suspicious, but the physician at once
ridiculed the idea, and refused TO attend him
any longer. His son then mentioned DR.. c. Nc

take it his reply was-I must take something to
to get relief, or die.
They at once procured bottle of DR. C. Ne

suit was he passed upwards OF three quarts Of

mediately and is now enjoying excellent health !;
and like the good Samaritan of old. is endeav-
oring to relieve his unfortunate neighbors He
makes il his business to hunt up and select all
cases similar to his own, that may be given over
by regular physicians, and induces them to try
DR.. McIane's Vennifuge. So far he has induced
more than twenty persons to take the Nerml-
fuge. and in every case with the most happy re-
suits He is well satisfied that Dr. c. McLanes
vermifuge, prepared by Fleming Bros, Pitts
