RHEUMATISM.

This severe and painful disease has long
baffied the skill Of thousands OF our most eel
ebrated physicians. Time and money have
been wasted in futile endeavors to obtain
some embrocation that would perform cure !;

instance in which II has been employed.
Rheumatism arises from different causes
but most generally proceeds from colds, expo
sure to the weather, aud sleeping in damp
rooms Those who arc subject TO this com
plant should avoid remaining in damp places

SEPTEMBER 20, l845.--Mr. w. B. Wood, the

at my house. He was talking of the immense
labors, In the way of study, of actors life I" i
never omitted he said, "any labor that could
make me more perfect in the graces of my profess
sion. Finding myself somewhat awkward In open
ing and shutting door in coming on TO the stage,
!. / asked the manager, Mr.. Wignell, to let me come
out and announce the play and for two whole
years practised that and when was not in the
play, would come down and dress--in stockings,

the play so 10 carry a sword and wear a cooked
hat, made poikt Of doing both, at home, In my
own room, for years, that this costume should
be as natural and familiar TO me as my ordinary

any one TO whom the use Of sword seemed to be
so natural and unconscious You sit, down get

at once, and without second motion ofadjust
