We saw lovely flower,
That gave us much delight; -.
New beauties every hour
Endeared it to the sight
: Forevermore, We fondly said, 5si -
May this sweet flower it's fragrance she'd
But angry tempests came,
That bowed its gentle head
And snapped the tender stem
The beauteous flower was dead
No more, with fearful eyes, we said
Shall this sweet flower its fragrance shed.
But 10! transplanted where
A fair and genial cline,
Protects from chilling air
And all the ills of time
1t lives secure from storms and gloom
And crowned with everlasting bloom.

ever equalled it in sales.
We do not believe that in the whole history of
the patent medicine business the like success can
be produced.
Vaughns sales are now enormous all over the
