Humanity welcomes each blessing
The Medical Art bestow,
And mankind fond Of confessing
The little of goodness they know.
Some look for the Cholera daily,
And magnify all Of their ills,
And manage to catch all diseases,
From Small pox to Fever and Chills.
But those who wisest and posted,
Keep remedies them, and handy,
Each informing they drink HUBBELL'S BITTERs,
And at night use his CABINET BRANDY.
And whilst Politicians pitching
Into Mayor Contractor, and trouble,
Abusing the dust and the ditchng,
They quietly fall back on HUBBELL.
