THE ROMANCE OF POOR YOUNG MAN,
by Octave Feuiliet, said to be the best novel pro.

every man . life. All Of its statements are based
upon rigid chemical analysis and microscopical ex
aminations made for this special purpose. The
deliberations and the manner of detecting them
unrivAled, and to probe the evil to the botom,
the knickerbocker will publish so far as its nves
LEGATIONS extend, the names of the manufacturers
and dealers guilty OF this insidious crime against
