From the Lyon's Mouth.
On a Young Lady's Sighing.
r , HE tweet inchantreis in the bloom of life,
1 Unlike Cal\pfo, fears to be a wife;
Yet like a kite, Ihe vibrates to her swain;
They grieve alternate, but be grieves in vain.
Assume thy magic wand, celestial fair,
Guard from his sighs the undulating air ;
Why ihouid your pity move the tender sigh,
For one you hate lor thus presuming high ?
For lower life thy lover is defign'd
Then why (hould sympathy ditturb thy mind ?
Nor Should this youth /.wo^-like repine,
Since in the Elysian ffiades he soon Ihall shine:
Thence, clad in sether, to the heav'ns afeend,
Blaze in thy rays, and brighten without end.
Enamorata.

SIR, For the benefit of others I hope you will make the
following public, that others labouring under the fame calamity
may know where to apply for cure. I was afflicted with a
cough and pain in the bread for twelve years, 1 applied to many
but could not get relief, all agreeing that I was in a deep decay,
and that there was no help for me. On your coming to New^
Haven I applied your Public Medicines and soon found benefit,
and in a few mouths, after twelve years illnels, was redored to
perfed health, and have continued so above fifteen months.
NATHANIEL AGNOMALL, living in New-Haven, in
Connecticut,
To Dr. Yeldall in Front-street , Philadelphia.
FOR the benefit of others be it made public, that I, George
Sm th, was afflicted with a consumptive disorder for a long time,
which reduced me to so low a date that 1 could Icarce walk, I
app led to several, some gave me medicines and others said it was
in vain for me to apply, but hearing of the cures that Dr. Yel
dall had done in that way, I at length applied to him, and great
ly to the surprise of my felt and neighbours, found mylelf recover
ed to health in a short time, and am now as well as ever. As
witnels my hand, GEORGE SMITH, living in'Third-flreer,
near Vine-llreet. ° \
To Dr. Yeldall in Front-street, Philadelphia.■
S I R, Asl think no cure has been more furprizing or more
Speedily completed than that w hich you performed ' n my leg, [
beg you may make it public, for the benefit of others labou ing
under the lame calamity. I had been for twenty two ve rs labours
ingun er dreadful ulceisin one of my legs, 1 app led to many able
pnyfician', and tound that all the medicines they applied were to
no purpole; I was twice Salivated, but without fuccels. l ap.
plied your medicines very early this fp'ring, and in a few weeks
my leg was healed, aud I am now as found, and can do Hufinefs
as wed as any person whatever: As witness my hand, JOHN
CAMPBELL, Evefham, Burlington county.
