lieVe is H4NCES HO.4RHOUND SYRUP and
C4NDP, which is doing wonders in the way of cur
ing Asthmas and Coughs.-[N. Y. Mirror.
Dear Thomas, you know my affection,
The cold that caught at a dance,
So beg you will send me n bottle,
Of HOARHOUND, extracted by HhNCE.
Mrs Johnson dare say you knew her,
And the story will sound like romance,
Has been cured of her cough of long standing,
BY buying some Syrup of Iiance.
There's the doctor, too, bless the old fellow,
For his health, went travelling to France,
And came home to be cured of consumption
And lays 1t to HoarhOund and liance.
Mrs. Martin, your fathers first cousin,
Lay two or three days in trance;
And the first thing she said upon waking,
Was "send for some lfoarhound to Hance."
yesterday sent for the doctor,
Who said, 81 can see at glance,
There's but one thing can cure your disorder
And that il some Hoarhound from Hance,"
so you see, dearest Tom, my condition,
If you would my enjOyments enhance,
DO not fail to forward tomorrow,
bottle Of Syrup from Hance.
Do not trust it with William, nor Peter,
For fear of some ugly mischance
For what shall do, dearest Thomas,
If get not the HoarhOund from Hance.
One bottle for me, and another
Don't forget to direct to your auns;
They sell it at Sands, reckon,
But be sure It's the genuine Hance.
Mrs. Brown was bent double with coughing,
But now she's as straight as lance;
And the change has been wrought, she assures me,
BY taking the Hoarhound from lancc.
AS went to the store but last Friday,
Mr.. Butterman eyed me askancc,
And whispering said, "Mrs. Davis,
You must send for some Hoarhound to Hance"
Mrs. Pitts, who subscnbes to the Mirror,
In that Journal encountered by chance,
Very lucky, the first advertisement,
Had been seen in our village from TIancc.
remain, my dear Thomas, as ever,
Your mother, in loves fond duance,
And if you would keep me here, darling,
Pray send me the lloarhound from Hance.

Mexican dollar in hiS pocket, and handed his
customer a one dollar "%Promise to pay'' OIL
