It's the best saIve on earth and will
prevent fatality when burns, sores,
ulcers and piles threaten. Only %

in the authorship of dramas about which the
Lord Chamberlain has his doubts. NJ. de Grar-

and original manner; STILL he did invent the
dramatic situation Of the letter recommending
elopement, and of the mode in which the
lady treated the letter. Perhaps his best plan In
the end would have been to propose to Dumas
the suicide-duel by lot and the fatal accident in
the Pyrenees Could man of honor refuse
such challenge from statesman of European

moral is to avoid cola boration; advantage sell

of that commandment which, according to
Dumas has for two centuries furnished the

something new on that head, and the novelty of

not dramatic. By the addition Of divorce Gin
