From tlo (iultot Pattgotiy to the burning mouti tains iu Jvmi-carky they're known and took, and recommended 1 The man in the aioou himself would use 'em ! The Eiupror of Mexicu keeps 'em allers by him, and his wite Mrs. Charlotte, she never goes to bed without taking a dose of 'em. Well, I'm the m m that discovered these wonderful bitter, and my name is Samuel Smooth, and I was horned and brought in the town of Hf mpt'ord, iu the Commonwealth of New Hampshire. I don't hesitate lo say, that nothing can stand alongside ot my bitters. It you don't believe it, jut you get a bot tle and take 'em faithfully, and if you don't wish you hadn't, then I'll give you another bottle. They're sweet to smell, They're smooth to take, They'll make you well Ot fet in ich ache : They'll dense the blood, And make you feel Treuiendeous good And limber as an eel. I made the poitry myself, and if there's anybody that it don't suit, why iust let 'tin make some u.ero on the same subject. I took half a bottle of my bitters once, and I thought I shouldn't live from one eud to tother ! Mann said I looked just like a wrung out disho!oth. Noth nig in em but yeast boiled iu new rum.

She bi nug one rii;ht along as slick a looking gal as ever you see; with blue eyes, and yellow hair done oi.ti one ot those ere rats with both euds a nicking out. Her name was Pora Smith, and after a little palaver, I hitched onto her, and pcraded her into the ball room. Nearly everybody that was able to be out was there. I expect there'd have been a good many more present that was ou beds of sickuess, if they'd only have took my bittets tl e day afore. It was u gay time. There was a whole troop of fellers, whisking as many gals round and loutid as fast as ever they could whirl 'em, and the air was tuii of false curls frizet'es, walerf'als, and i J..OS I picked up a whole pocket full to carry home to sister Periwinkle, and 1 might have got a good m my more it 1 hadn't been afraid of bursting my tights, tor thev growed closer and closer every minnit.
