A Natural Consequence or get
ting married.

A few days since gentleman and la.
dy lom Vermont visited our CITY for the
laudable purpose of getting s.jinted for
life" j. e. married. After the cermony
was duly performed, according to law
and gospel, the newly married couple
repaired to one of our first-class hotels,
and took lodging for the night. On re-
firing, instead of shutting off the gas,
he blew out the light and went to bed.
In short time the disagreeable smell
of the gas began to spread through the
house, and the servants were despatched
in all directions to find out whence ii
proceeded. After some search, they
traced the odor to the room occupied by
the happy couple, and knocking on the
door, which was locked, they asked the
gentleman what was the matter.
Matter! Nothing. What are you
disturbing me for? Begone!'
The smell still increased, and at last
the domestic burst open the door and
shut off the gas, the spouse all the time
scolding Ikea good 'un.
Why did you not shut off your gas!
inquired cue of the servants.
Gas! gas! what gas! I haint seen
no gas. ! blowed out the light, that's
ALL
We'll, did you not smell something
stranger
why, yes! replied the new husband,
but | supposed it was natural conse-
quence Of getting married.

This truly great medicine still goes on,
conquering disease, and snatching many a
poor powerless victim from the grave. By
its powerfully stimulating, penetrating An
odyne qualities, it restores the use Of limbs
which have been palsied for years; and by its
singular power of reproducing the Synovial
Fluid or Joint Water, it cures all diseases
OF the Joints with surprising rapidity. For
Rheumatism, and affections of the Spine
and Spleen, it has proved itself SPECIFIC;
and for affections of the Lungs, Liver and
Kidneys, it most valuable and powerful
auxiliary: also for all diseases of the glands,
Scrofula, Goitre or Swelled Neck, &c. And
indeed for almost any disease where an ex-
ternal application is required, this medicine
stands unparalleled.
