recovery. Nothing can be better contrived, more safe, or more
convenient than this Remedy, fur such as are obliged to go journies
or to sea, as it needs no confinement nor restraint of Diet; and,
sixty years experience (in an extensive practice) has proved that it

avail nothing. Fur the Scurvy and other Chronica 'Disorders,

HANS KAUF; OR, THE DEVIL IN THE OVEN.
gitlE Tailor, Hans Kauf, iirg'd his wife from het bed,
Fur bread must be balt'd, and the oven be fed ;
Who donning her clothes set the wood in a blaze,
But instantly ran fruit the spot in amaze,
And, hop-skip-and-jump, all impedimenta cross'd,
And lix'd 'gainst the wall, stood as firm as a post !
Ilan; Kauf called his female-half sluggard and sloven,
And brought her in contact once more with the oven ;
Where venturing a look, she retreated again,
" The Devil!" exclaiming with all might and main !
Now Hans, without doubt, though a match for his wife,
No chance had he knew with Old Nick when at strife,
Who now in the oven made a racket and rout,
In blackest costume till at last he roll'd out,
And as if to hide his demoniac pursuits,
Ills legs were array'd in a pair of bright boot, !
Hans jump'd through the window, in quickness no.failer,
While fiercely the devil sprang after the tailor ;
The river was nigh, and the devil's long paw
Now grasping poor Hans, he his enemy saw,
And driv'n to despair by infernal attack,
l'lung'd into the stream, the " foul-fiend" at his back,
And would have been drown'd, but good luck was in store,
For devil and tailor came both safe un shore!
To wind up our tale, and each mystery show,
The Imp was Hans' friend, who in costume of black
!Its exit thus made front the oven and attack
Array'd in bright Boots, in whose fine ebon glow
The shade, of reflection the joke appear'd backing ;
!lams Kauf and his wife now confess that they owe
Relief front vain tenors to WA HAILS'S akt Blacking!
