announcement by the Doctor of the
purport OF his visit. the youth, fear
fal lest his mother, who was con-
subject TO alarm, might
have been disturbed by the trum-
pet, ran Oh to appraise her OF what
he had just Witnessed; and giving
her the full advantage Of Willy's ex.
aggerated estimate of the travelling
healer OF disease, returned, by the
lady's command. to conduct this
worthy into her presence. He &C.

The itinerant was introduced into
Lady Baltimore's presence In q
small parlor, where she was attend
ed by two little girls: her only child

perimentalism which has filled the
world with victims to medical i'm.

cine's reverence to the persons be-
fore him there was an overstrained
obseQuiousness, but. at the same
time. an expression OF imperturble
confidence-fully according with the
pretension which mark

bv which, at that day, the workers
OF wonderful cures and the posses
sors Of infallfble elixers advertised
the astonishing virtues OF their COM
pounds an art which has in our
time only changed it's manner Of ut

culous pretensions in every news

whole columns OF mountebauk lies
