SUPPLEMENT to the Pennsylvania Evening Post. [No. 271.
An OCCASIONAL PROLOGUE spoken by Mr. Garrick,
the fall time of his performing, towards increasing a fund
for the relief of those who, from their infirmities, fliall be
obliged to retire from the stage.
A Veteran fee, whose last aft on the stage
Intreats your smiles for sickness and for age!
Their cause I plead—plead it in heart and mind—
A fellow feeling makes one wond'rous kind!
Might we but hope your zeal would not be less,
When I am gone, to patronize distress ;
That hope obtain'd, the wifh'd for end secures,
To soothe their cares, who oft have lighten'd yours.
Shall the great heroes of coeleftial line,
Who drank full bowls of Greek and Roman wine,
Ca:far and Brutus, Agamemnon, Hector,
Nay J-ve himfelf, who here has quaff 'd his ne&ar,
Shall they, who govern'd fortune, cringe and court her,
Third in their age, aid call in vain for porter?
Like Belilarius, tax the pitying street,
With "date obolum" to all they meet?
Shan't I, who oft have drench'd my hnds in gore,
Stabb'd many, poifon'd some, beheaded more;
Who numbers flew in battle on this plain ;
Shan't 1, the flayer, try to feed the slain ?
Brother to all, with equal love I view
The men wh > flew me, and the men I flew;
I razit, I will, this happy project seize,
That those too old to die, may live with ease.
Suppose the babes I Smother'd in the Tower,
By chance or sickness, lose their anting pow'r,
Shall they, once Princes, worse than all be ferv'd!
In childh) d murder'd, and, when murder'd, llarv'd!
Matrons half ravilh'd, to your recreation,
In age should never want some consolation :
Caul, young Hamlet once, to nature loft,
Behold, C >horrible, my father's ghost!
With grilly beard—pale cheek —talk up and down,
And he, the Royal Dane, want half a crown ?
Forbid it, ladies ; gentlemen, forbid it;
Give joy to age, and let 'em fay—you did it.
To you *, ye Gods! I make my .ait appeal ;
You have a right to judge, as well as feel ;
Will your high wisdom's to < ur scheme incline,
That king's, queen's, heroes, gods, and ghorts may dine?
Olympus. Shakes !—That omen all secures;
May every joy you give, be tenfold yours.

DOCTOR YELD ALL, whose abilities are well

any poor person may be supplied gratis.
For the benefit of others I desire that my case may be made
public. 1 was affiided for a long time with a pain in my
arm, during which I applied to leveral able physicians in the
city, but could find no relief; the pain at length took away
the use of my arm, and I could get no ease either day or night.
In this condition I despaired of relief, but hearing of many
cures performed by Debtor Yeldall, I applied to him, who
in a sh mt time removed the pain, restored the use of my arm,
and I.now follow my business.

For the benefit of others be it made public, that I had a.
large wen growing on my neck for five years, during which
I applied to several surgeons, but they all told me 1 should
bleed to death that inttant it was cut, but hearing that Dr.
Yeldall performed a great many of the like, I applied to him,
who took it off with very little trouble, and without the loss
of a tea cup full of blood.

lips, and being desirous that they may reap the fame benefit
that I have done, 1 desire that you may make my case public.
I was afflicted with a cancer in my lip for three years, during
which I applied tc many though without eftba, until I appli
ed to you, who in less than half a minute took out the cancer,
and in five days healed up the part so as not to be perceived
from whence the cancer was took. CHRIST. HUGHES.

my case public, that those beingimpofed upon and labouring
under the fame complaint may know where to apply for a
cure. I was blind for four years, during which 1 applied to
many, but without finding the lead benefit. I was fix weeks
under the late famous eye Doctor's hands who took my money,
and did me no good ; but hearing that you took nothing in
hand but where you had a probability of perfecting a cure, [
applied to you, who in one minute brought me to fight, and
I can now fee to read. WILLIAM BELL,
