Tuu0s


The Proprietor has succeeded (from direc-
tions Of Professor Sione) in combining the
Oh and Lime so perfectly, that the taste OF
the Oil, which is naueseous 10 persons gen.
orally, is entirely overcome, and it can be Ia.
ken by the most delicate females with pleas
ure. And as regards the benefit of this ar
ticIe over the pure oil, the following case, by
Prof. Stone, is sufficient to convince the most
skeptical. The young lady was "a years Of
age.
"Ier disease was one of unmixed phthisis,
which had been expected TO terminate in the
course of a few months, fatally. The upper
part of both her lungs was filled with tuber-
clcs; and in some places were beginning to
soften, The case was evidently q bad one.
The treatment of cod liver oil was at first
used, but without marked improvement The
phosphate of lime WIS then administered with
the oil, and the result, as in the case OF many
others, was soon apparent. The patient was
rapidly getting well"

I sat one night beside blue-eyed girl
The fire was out and So too, was her mother
A feeble fame around the lamp did curl,
Making faint shadows, blending in each other;
Twas nearly twelve o'clock, too, in November;
She had shawl on also, remember

For thirteen days, and had sneaking notion
To pop the question, thinking all was right,
And once or twice had made an awkward motion
To take her hand and stammered coughed and slut.

But somehow nothing to the point had uttered
Thought this chance too good now to be lost;
hitched my chair up pretty close beside her;
Drew long breath, and then my legs cross'd;
Bent over, sighed and for five minutes eyed her;
She looked as if she knew what next was coming,
And with her foot upon the floor was drumming.

The perspiration from each pore was oozing-

losing.
At length saw brindle tabby cat
Walk purring up, inviting me to pat her;
An idea came, electric-like, at that
My doubts, like summer clouds, began to scatter,
seized on tabby, though scratch she gave me,
And said, 'Come, Puss ask Mary if she'll have

Said, ''Pussy, tell him yes = her foot in it
