An amusing scene was witnessed one
day on one of the mail boats running
from Calais to Dover. The sea was
rather rough. a young woman, pretty
and nicely dressed, appeared to be sud
denly taken very i'll with seasickness.
She groaned and screamed in apparent
agony for some little time.
At length person who appeared to
be stranger to her approached and
asked whether she would like to take
a lOzenge, which he guaranteed would
ease her pain. He had often tried it,
he said, on people and always with the
most marvellous results. The young
lady demurred a little at first, but
finally accepted the offer Never was
cure so instantaneous. Hardly had she
swallowed the lozenge than the fair
patient was sitting up all smiles and
ordering ham sandwiches of the stew

Some passengers were SO struck
with the incident that they inquired
what was the remedy that had had
such a wonderful result, and the gen.
tleman, who. as he said, was the agent
for the sale of the lozenges. disposed
