That Justice, Fortune, Love were blind.
All would the Gods who sole their sight;
In sympathy their souls unite (,
Then might the three display to view,

And Fortune gid the shafts of Love

This medicine which is as innocent and
mild as il is certain and eficacious in its o.
peration, cannot injure the smallest infant,
should no worms exist in the body-but will
without pain or gripping cleanse the stomach
and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive,
and thereby prevent the production ofworms
and many fatal disorders.
Among the symptoms attending Worms
are, dNagreeable breath, especially In the

me he should have recognized me as New
Highlander, had he not known me. Upon
enquiring the peculiarly which marked my
origin, he told me tina, no one except man
educated in N. E. ever leaned back IN his
chair so as TO make it stand upon the two
hinder feet only. Altho' | was not IN the
least aware, either that this was a custom
peculiar to my country, or that | was then
in SO awkward a situation. found was
so indeed and while the incident produced
some m,rth, in which / was happy to join,
am sure, that shall never forget again, that
chair ought to stand upon four legs instead
OF two.
