ent 'Bolus" has provoked the censlre of
some, and the wrath Of others, while a third
party laugh and enjoy themselves at the
expense of him and his opponents. But
they cannot do all the laughing themselves.
for Bous is himself one of the risible ira
ternty and if not a true disciple, still
hearty companion of Momus. /. is not to
be wondered at, that some bite their lips
with vexaton, while others ''yaw haw," as
Sam Slick says, heartily, at the mode III
which Bolus proposes to patfonize Or
Brandreih. Somebody however, who calls
himself Honeslus appears IN defence OF
the pills which he calls "the best medicine
ever yet discovered. This honest fellow
seems so free from "evil though IS, senti-
ments and feelings" while at the same
time, he bestows so laconlcaly the highest
praise upon The pills, that | suppose he
has tested in his own person their unrIval-
led excellence. | believe it is not said IN
the advertisement, that they will improve

Honestus charges me with lnidellty and

There is no Escape from the conclusion

any other shew it.
But IIones,,s charges me with making
personal ATTACK upon some one against

What is that to him shoulL be glad In
know, unless he be the person charged:
Allison is made to this part of the com
munication in another place, which should
not have noticed, but for its having been
dwelt upon by mnnv as personal. Bolus
has no hostile feeling towards the person
referred to, ASIDE from the facts mention
ed, which is called an attack upon the pro-
ceedings of aprivatc association, OF which
they say Bolus is member. Then it
seems the change is nal drnied. Somebody,
somewhere his, IN parliamentary proceed
