CENUINE SYRUP OF DE VELNOS.—The 1
lowing Letter is an additional and recent Testimony in
proof of the peculiar benefit attendant on the use of the Syrup :
" Half-Acre, flrentford, Jan. 19. 11126.
"Madam,—Fully convinced of the efficacy of your invaluable
medicine, I am induced to make the following case known, fur the
benefit of those who may be suffering under similar affliction. My
daughter had a severe attack of Typhus Fever in the autumn of
11124 ; her head was shaved, and immediately after it broke out.
and formed an entire scab (so that her ears were scarcely visible),
at the same time discharging a watery humour all over the head,
with a thick matter out of the hole of each ear. After taking a few
bottles of the Syrup she was restored to perfect health, in which she
still remains; another autumn having passed without the least
symptom of a relapse. In addition to the foregoing, I cannot hut
acknowledge that, on several occasions, I have received the greatest
benefit from taking the Syrup, but particularly in the ease of an
ulcerated leg, occasioned by a severe blow. I beg to add, if I can
in any way be serviceable, as a reference, in recommending the
! Syrup, I shall feel it a ditty I owe, knowing the efficacy of it in
I many instances. I am, Madam, your's respectiolls.

The great success of this Medicine in Scorbutic, Scropholous,
and Syph,litic Complaints, Pains and Swellings of the Lii.er, dis-
eased Skin and Glands, and all disorders arising from impure
blood, is now too well known to require a detailed enumeration.
As, however, imposture, like envy, too closely follows the heels of
merit, and pretensions to imitate the Syrup, to improve it, or to
have discovered something of similar efficacy, may surprise the un-
wary, and f3tally mislead the ignorant, Mrs. Catshain owes it in
gratitude to the public, to give warning of these dangers, and to
refer to those proofs of the virtues and efficacy of her Medicine, to
be found in her publications, which surpass, in number, respecta-
bility, and authenticity, any testimonies of a similar kind that have
been ever produced.
' The effects of the Genuine Vegetable Syrup are such as not to
interrupt either business or pleasure; it operates on the animal
juices, and simply requires the common restraint of moderation in
diet. It is -a safe but powerful substitute for 51ercury, and removes
all those diseases which an unsuccessful use of that mineral occa•
'ions.

THE BOAR of the CAPE • or, the FORTUNATE
EMBELLISHIIIENT.
There is a wild boar at the Cape of Good Hope
With whom if by choice or by chance you should cops,
Take care of your legs—for these first are hie prey ;
Aware without legs that you can't run away !*
Inclin'd on a settler this prowler to feed,
The stranger was put to his uttermost speed
The wild waste athwart, but the boar faster ran.
And nearer still drew to the terrified man,
Exhausted who fell, and awaited his doom—
! A horrible death in vitality's tomb !
Instinctively taught first to maim, and then slay,
The resolute savage now rushed on his prey;
But suddenly staid his ferocious pursuits,
Subdued by his shade in the settler's bright boots.
Some observing Hottentots now raise the cry—
" Save legs, safe rifest, up masse and fly !"
When rous'd from hi' %moor. and conscious emu,
The settler now wing'd o'er the desert his pace ;
The hoar in his rear. but of wrath all unstruag,
And foll'wing in fancy the friend of its young !
Anti thus was the curious adventure sustain'd,
'Till harbour and safety the party soon gained;
When receding fast from the dwellings of man,
The boar to his haunts unotolestedly ran.
"'Toes Warren's Jet Blacking that ended the strife."
The settler " and has saved thus my life !"
And Warren's Jet Blacking, now haird as the cause
Of safety, was shouted with raperoun applause !
The circumstance soon even to Cape Town was spread,
Etell fact multitudinous evidence backing
And now say the settlers, " Both danger and dread
To shun, use the spicndor of Warren's Jet Blacking."
• It is a singu'ar fact that this ferocious animal uniformly brake
the legs before tokirg the life of its victim.
