KEEP \ UUOD TOSUIK l.\ VOl'K HEAD.
TO MISS M. L. D.
I married a wife of lute,
The more’s my unhappy fate.
I took her for love,
As fancy did me move,
And not for her worldly state.
For qualities rare
Few with her compare,
(Let me do her no wrong.)
I must confess
Her chief amiss
la only this,
As some wivgp is,
She cannot rule her tongue.
She ho ns sweet a face
As any in seven miles space;
ller eyes crystalline
Like diamonds do shine;
She looks with modest grace.
Her hair is like flax,
Her lips are red wax,
That sealed the bond so strong
’Twixt her and I,
That till 1 die
I’ll justify
Her constancy;
But she cauuot rule her tongue.
Her cheeks are red as the rose, ,
Which June for her glory shows ;
Her teeth in a row
Stand like a wall of snow
Between her round chin and her nose.
Her shoulders are decent,
Her arms white and pleasant,
Her Angers are small and long.
No fault I find-,
But in my mind
Most womankind
Must come behind;
0 that she could rule her tongue.
For housewifery she doth exceed,
She looks to her business with heed.
She’s early and late,
Employed, I dare say’t,
To see all things well succeed.
She is very wary
To look to her dairy,
Aa doth to her charge belong.
Her servants all
Are at her call,
But she ’ll so brawl
That still I shall
Wish that she could rule her tongue.
With all that hath been said
No woman need be dismayed,
Since I have not been
Incensed through spleen
Iu this spacious river to wade.
I now do disparage
To hinder their marriage ;
But with both old and young
Great heed to hike
When choice they make
For virtue’s auko,
No venomous snake ‘
Stings like a woman’s tongue.
IIOW I MADE A FOOL OF MYSELF.
As I sat alone at breakfast, I was
somewhat surprised on receiving a
most courteous and pressing invitation
from my uncle Jeromy to spend a short
time with himself and family at his scat
in Warwickshire, previous to my leav
ing England The old gentleman and
my father had been estranged from
each other for many years through
some slight family quarrel, so that I
had not seen my uncle Jeremy, save
on one occasion, since my boyhood.
In consequence of my father’s death,
I had been summoned from America,
where I had been pushing my fortune
with success for a considerable time;
and now, having settled my affairs, 1
was preparing to re-cross the Atlantic,
when my uncle’s letter reached me.
My mother and an elder brother with
whom she now resided, were the only
near relatives 1 had in London. Fred
had long since settled down in the
world with a good and kind wife ; and
well knowing that my mother would he
sure to receive every attention under
his happy roof, I eared little to remain
in England a homeless bachelor, whilst
anything in the shape of marriage was
slill further from my rambling
thoughts. Os course my brother was
extremely obliging, would do anything
he could to serve me, and expressed him
self open at any moment to stake a
handsome wager that he could intro-
<luce me to at least halfa dozen angelic
creatures, the possession of any one of
whom would prove a fortune in herself;
but to all these generous offers I turned
a deaf ear. Liberty was sweet, and I
felt in no haste to sacrifice it on the
altar of Hymen. Not that I was a wild
young gentleman, who didn’t care for
the comforts and attractions of home;
but 1 didn’t wish to have the onus of a
household thrust upon one so long as I
felt happy and contended alone.
Six and twenty and alone! ha, ha I
No one to bother and worry you—no
shopping—no Midsummer and Christ
mas bills to meet. Short reckonings
and bmg friends —free as the air—
capital!
1 rose from my chair, put my back to
the mantle-piece, lighted a cigar, and
smoked away for a couple of minutes
most furiously ; then 1 consulted my
watch, rang tho bell, ordered a hansom,
resolving to see my brother Fred, be
fore 1 accepted or declined my uncle’s
invitation.
“ Here’s an unexpected epistle I re
ceived at the hotel this morning, Fred,
and l want your advice upon it,” said I,
on entering his offieo.
“ What, are you going to get mar
ried, after all ?” ho asked.
“ Are you going to drown yourself,
sir?” said I.
“No, thank you,” replied Fred,
laughing.
“ Well, then,” said I, “ don’t ask non
sensical questions. Uncle Jeremy has
sent a very polite invitation to spend a
week or two with him in Warwickshire
before I leave England, and I thought
I would just run down and ask you
what 1 should do iu tho matter.”
“Why—accept it, of course,” said
Fred.
“ Well, but does it not seem strange,”
I asked ; “ for I always thought that
he and our father were never on very
good terms.”
“ No—they were not for many years,”
replied Fred, “ but matters were put
right between them some time ago by
Uncle Jeremy’s apologizing and other
wise behaving' like a gentleman.”
“ You never told me of that, Fred,”
said I.
“No, because I thought you would
come to knew ail about it in due time.
But I see here, Tom,” continued my
brother, returning the letter, “ he even
offers you his friendship, should you
ever settle in England, and that would
be something worth having, I can tell
you.”
“Yes, doubtless it would,” said I;
“ but I’ve got a balance at my banker’s,
and I can manage very well over the
water. Besides, 1 don’t think 1 should
like to remain in England now that
I’ve got used to the Yankee fashions.”
“ Bosh, all bosh, Tom ; you’d become
an Englishman again in no time,” re
joined Fred, smiling.
“ Perhaps so,” said I, “ but I doubt
it. However, I’ll follow your advico
and telegraph to Uncle Jeremy, saying
1 will be at Marston Hall to-morrow.”
“ But won’t you dine with us this
evenin'''?” asked I' red.
“ Oh, certainly,” said I, “at six o’clock
as usual ?”
“ Yes, at six,” he replied.
And we did dine at six, and a jolly
evening we had ; out, strange to say,
not the least allusion was made to my
intended visit to unde Jeremy s, until
1 broached tho subject myself by ask
ing my brother if he thought I should
enjoy the excursion, and what sort of
people I might expect to meet there.
“ Wall, not many of any sort,” he
replied, “ for I don’t think they keep
much company ; but you will have a
kind host and hostess, and their daugh
ter Agnes, (who will, I suppose, have
to do duty) as your companion-in-chief.
“Daughter Agnesi” I exclaimed ;
“ why, she was a mere child when I
left England."
“Quite true, Tom,” continued my
brother, “ but she is a woman now ;
and, it I dare hazard an opinion, a very
tine one too; ” then glancing mischiev
ously across the table, he added, “but
of course we take you to be proof
against even feminine perfection itself.”
“At any rate, Fred,” I observed,
rather snappishly. “I am proof against
every ‘ insult ’ from that quarter.”
“ AH right, Tom ; only don’t make a
fool of yourself, that’s all,” said my
brother.
“ No fear about that,” I replied, now
almost wishing I had declined the in
vitation.
Nothing more was said on the subject
during the evening; and when I took
leave of my brother and his family, 1
immediately determined not to afford
my fair cousin the least reason to sup
pose that I had come to Marston Hall
with the intention of falling in love with
her.
On my arrival at the railway station,
where my uncle had promised to join
me, I was disappointed at not finding
him and was about to hire a convey
ance to carry mo to my destination,
when up dashed a park phaeton, driven
by a remarkably handsome young lady.
She drew up hastily and beckoned me
towards her.
“ Mr. Lawson, I presume ?” said the
lady.
“Yes, that is my name,” I replied,
bowing.
She at once introduced herself in the
most unaffected manner, excused the
abseence of her father on account of in
disposition, hoped I had enjoyed my
journey, was very glad I had come,
because they saw so little company;
and, in fact, behaved herself just as if
we had been long familiar to each
other.
At length, after seeing my baggage
all right, I took my seat, and then
asked in the politest manner for permis
sion to take the reins.
“Oh no, thank you, cousin;” she re
plied, with a provoking smile playing
about her wellformed mouth. “lam
rather fond of driving, besides, you do
not know the way so well as 1 do, and
these ponies are apt to become restive
sometimes ; so I think I had better
keep my post till wc get home.”
I merely bowed in acquiescence,
though I did not exactly like her little
speech, and the next moment we were
going at a terrible speed along a broad
winding path, which led through an
extensive park, beyond which, on a
slight eminence, stood Marston Hall.
“ See, there’s our house, through the
trees, right in front of us! It stands
on a lonely spot does it not ?” asked
my fair companion.
“Very secluded,” I replied, laconi
cally, remembering the determination
I had made about falling in love.
“ Well, we shall be there in a few
minutes,” said she ; “ and I rejoice to
think that, however fatiguing our drive
may prove, you will not have exhaust
ed yourself with conversation.”
“ Hang it,” thought I, this is down
right impertinence! though I almost
deserve it. By Jove 1 she takes things
exquisitely coolly. However, I smiled
and said t hat I had been trying to take
a flying glanceat the splendid scenery.
She gave a low, short, merry laugh,
as she replied—“ That’s exactly what
I’ve been doing, for want of other occu
pation, but at this speed one cannot
observe much.”
“ There,you are right,” said I; “ and
if we were in any other place we should
certainly be fined for furious driving.”
“ By the way, are you fond of riding?”
asked my cousin, abruptly.
“ Well, yes,” said I, with some hesi
tation ; “ but I am not a bold horse
man.”
“ I am sorry to hear that,” she con
tinued, with evident interest, “ for it is
an exercise of which I am passionately
fond. I delight in a good light run
across the country, for nothing raises
my spirits half so much. But see, papa
is looking at us through the dining
room window, and John is waiting to
take care of the ponies, so } 7 ou must be
ready to alight the instant I stop.”
In another minute my eccentric, not
to say incomprehensible, cousin did
stop, and I alighted as quickly as pos
sible, but not without nearly losing
my balance, and wondering what could
be the meaningof such unseemly haste.
Throwing the reins to the servant,
my cousin followed me, but with such
agility that 1 scarcely noticed the
glance which fell upon mo from her
laughing blue eyes, but stood before
the entrance to the fine old mansion,
expecting to have the pleasure of giv
ing her my hand.
“What did you not permit mo to as
sist you ?” I asked.
“ Simply because I made up my mind
some time ago never to give any gen
tleman more trouble than I could help,”
she replied, with a peculiar smile.
As she finished speaking the door
opened, and uncle Jeremy, his venera
ble physiogomy beaming with kindli
ness and good humor, came forward
to meet us, giving me a hearty welcome
to Marston Hall. Feeling, however,
dissatified with myself, and not over
pleased with my cousin, I took the
earliest opportunity of retiring to my'
room, as much to collect my scattered
thoughts as to dress for dinner.
“ She’s a strange, unaccountable girl,”
thought I, surveying the neat and
elegant chamber which had been pre
pared for my reception; “ but I am
astonished at finding her so masculine
and unlady-like in her manners and be-
havior. Why, ‘pen my conscience,
she deports herself more like a young
fox hunter than a gentleman’s daugh
ter.” Then I stood gazing at the beau
tiful view before me, stretching far
away as the eye could reach, and finally
dismissed my cousin from my thoughts
with the consolatory reflection that the
chances were very remote of my ever
falling in love with one who appeared
to delight more in manly sports than
womanly duties.
Soon after dinner my uncle related
the cause of his long estrangement from
my father, and the manner in which
they became reconciled, concluding
with an expression of sincere regret
that the misunderstanding had not
been consigned to oblivion long before ;
and however much I felt inclined to
find fault with the odd ways of mv
cousin, 1 could not help admiring my
uncle’s candor and good feeling. In
fact, I dismissed the subject from my
mind, under the conviction that, like
most other family jars, there had been
faults on both sides.
* * * * * *
I had now been a guest at Marston
Hall nearly three weeks, during which
time I had made myself familiar with
the surrounding country, invariably
joining my cousin in her long rides,
drives and wild rambles ; and, strange
to say, the first few days sufficed to
make us tolerable good friends, for I
soou discovered that she by no means
answered mv first description, but on
the contrary, possessed many good
qualities, which, in spite of all my
bachelor prejudice, could not help ap
proving, though I could never find
courage enough to indicate such ap
proval in words, until I so far forgot
myself as to express my surprise, in a
bantering tone, that so accomplished
and delightful a companion had not a
host of beaux sighing at her feet.
“ Sir,” she exclaimed, in a voice and
with a glance that made mo decidedly
uncomfortable, '• I do not like trifling.
It is wrong and foolish in our sex, but
in yours it is simply unendurable.
Flirting is not, and never can be, ac
quaintance; hut I do not want them.
No, cousin, when I acknowledge an
admirer, the feeling must he mutual.”
“If I have offendutUyou, my dear
cousin,” said I, “surely* you will not
refuse your forgiveness!”
“ You have not offended me,” she re
plied, “only I wish you to understand
that I feel strongly* and think deeply
on the subject of your remark, and
therefore cannot suffer the advances of
lovers whom I cannot respect.” Then
she added, “hut in that I do not think
I shall accept any offer, however tempt
ing, for a long time yet. I love my
own way, cousin. I like liberty*, and
admire independence. In short, I am
such an odd, queer person, so very* un
sentimental in my* conversation with
young gentlemen, that I verily believe
sometimes I shall enjoy* the exquisite
pleasure of dying an old maid.”
On hearing this confession I laughed
outright.
“Os course you may laugh, sir, and
so may I, hut that won’t increase my
prospects of marriage,” she added
smilingly.
“ -Egad, Frod was right,” thought I,
“ she really is a splendid girl.” I felt
my love of bachelorhood growing less.
“ Now, if she were only tender, delicate
and sympathizing at home, instead of
being so partial to horses, I would al
most forswear my* determination not
to make a fool of myself. But tush !
why* should I give way to such non
sense ? I will think no more about
her.”
“ Hallo! cousin, have you fallen into
a brown study through admiring the
color of your nag?” said my compan
ion, with one of her short, merry*
laughs.
“ No, no—that is—l was just absent
for the moment.”
“Doubtless present in spirit with
some fair hut distant object,” she ob
served, again laughing louder and more
merrily than ever.
This thrust roused me thoroughly*,
and perceiving that my companion was
bent upon trying to get me into an ill
humor with myself, I resolved to tell a
fib, and nip her in the bud.
“ No, you are quite mistaken, cousin,”
I said, very gravely ; “ for I was just
thinking of the advisability of return
ing to London-”
“ Well, then, I beg to inform you, in
the plainest possible terms, that you
are extremely unkind in allowing such
an idea to enter your mind,” she re
plied, in a half-offended and half-play
lul tone; and then, as if desirous of
avoiding pursuing the subject further,
she continued: “But come, we shall
never get back to the hall at this pace.
Here is a nice little run right before us.
Do not be afraid of the fence; it is not
much, and your horse has gone over it
often before.”
Ami away she went at a flying gal
lop. I followed, as she cried—“ Keep
well up, cousin ; you have improved
wonderfully l"
1 did keep as “ well up ” as I could ;
but on leaping the fence my horse fell,
and I fell. I don’t know how long I
lay insensible on the ground, but I do
know that the accident proved a serious
one.
Many hours elapsed before I recover
ed consciousness, and on opening my*
eyes I found myself at Marston Hall,
feeling very weak, with an indistinct
recollection on my brain of having a
long but painful dream. As 1 lay* gaz
ing at the various objects around" me, I
could scarcely believe that I was under
my uncle’s roof, there seemed to be
such an air of death-like stillness reign
ing over the whole household. I list
ened for some time, but could not hear
the least indication of either life or
motion, and was beginning to get weary*
of my oppressive loneliness, when a
slight rustling noise near the door of
the apartment arrested my attention.
'Then l imagined I could hear the sub
dued accents of a low, sweet voice, and
in another moment the door opened
slowly and my* cousin Agnes stood
before me, fairer and lovelier than ever,
her handsome features now saddened
with an expression of deepest sym
pathy, her whole mauner so changed
that I looked upon her as upon some
sweet ministering angel. I made an
attempt to speak, but she raised her
hand, and motioned me to keep silent.
“ YY>u have been ill, cousin, very' ill,”
she said in a tone not louder than a
whisper; “ and now you must keep
perfectly quiet, To-morrow, perhaps,
y*ou will be much better, and then you
can speak to me, hut not now. I have
been anxiously* waiting until y*ou
awakened, that y*ou might take some
refreshment which I have prepared for
you ; but I must beg your promise not
to think about anything until you feel
quite well again.”
I motioned obedience, and with a
faint hut grateful smile she withdrew
as noiselessly* as she came.
Many a long day and weary night
elapsed before I recovered from the
dreadful shock my system had receiv
ed. Many times I listened eagerly,
during that long illness, for ray kind
and lovely nurse, and every time she
came I seemed to acquire fresh strength
and energy to ;bear the bodily pain I
was compelled to suffer.
At length I found myself sufficiently'
j strong enough to read and walk within
doors, and tTio recollection of the hap
py' days I passed as a willing invalid at
Marston Hall, repays me now a hun
dred fold for my previous sufferings.
Well, I regained my' wonted health
at last, but felt no desire to return to
London. In short there was something
that would keep flashing through ray
mind, making my heart beat quicker
than usual, especially whenever I
chanced to be alone' with my cousin. I
became dull, pensive, and absent, a
change which my cousin Agnes was
not long in observing, and calling me
to task for ; but instead of giving a
rational explanation of the cause of my
moodiness, I told her that if she would
join me in my ramble through the park
on the following day I would then and
there make a very important confes
sion.
“Confession!” she echoed. “Nay, I
don’t want to be made acquainted with
your Awaked doings; but if it is any
thing that auuoys you, and I can help
y*on to get rid of it—”
“ My- confession is not one of wicked
ness,” I said,eagerly interrupting her;
“ and you can, it you will, help me out
of my trouble.”
“Very well, then,”said she, smiling,
provided y'ou do not ask me to do any
thing repugnant to my' conscience,"l
promise you my help." But, cousin,”
she added, speaking very deliberately,
“why delay your statement until to
morrow ? There’s no time like the
present, especially for penitent people ;
so if you will graciously reveal what it
is that weighs upon y'our mind, I will
listen to you with tho most exemplary
patience.”
I looked at her for a moment in si
lence, and then replied, “ No, cousin,
not now: It is not a trifling matter
GEORGIA JOURNAL AND MESSENGER.
that I wish to speak of, but one that
i involves the happiness of two lives.”
j “ Indeed !” she exclaimed, in a slight
t ly altered tone
“Courage! I whispered to mvself.
j “ Now is the time for me to ascertain
my late. Then, seizing her hand with
passionate tenderness. I said, “ Cousin
Agnca—dearest Agnes— y*otx will not
deny me the pleasure of calling y*ou by
that sweet name ? Nay, turn not from
mo, 1 continued, as she made a desper
ate eftort to release her hand, “until L
have told you how deeply* I have loved
you ; how, day* after day*. I have seen
and felt your goodness and worth. Oh
do not then plunge me into utter des
pair by* rejecting the offer I now make
of my love, my devotion —of the most
precious gilt man can give to woman,
and which even you have already
taken front me—my heart.”
I paused, hut my companion did not
speak, I gazed intently* into her inno
cent ey es, and and there I read her ver
dict. 1 was made happy for the remain
der of my* existence.
But, said my* beloved Agnes,
speaking very solemnly, and looking
quite distressed, I thought— “you had
better reconsider your words, for 1 am
afraid—”
“ A*raid—of what, dearest?” I asked,
interrupting her
“ That you have—”
“ Good heavens ! tell me,” I exclaim
ed, “ what have I done ?”
“ Made a fool of yourself,” she replied
with a merry- twinkle in herey*e.
I saw through the mystery in a mo
ment. Fred’s wife had informed my
cousin of the conversation which took
place between Fred and myself on the
evening previous to my* coming to
Marston Ilall. So I "laughed, and
Agnes, laughed, and then wc both
laughed together, until the joke had
been heartily appreciated on both sides.
And now it only remains for mo to
add tiiat I did not leave England; that
shortly* after l had put the question to
my cousin Agnes, brother Fred and his
tamily* were summoned to Marston
Hall, where a very happy* wedding
took place; and when my* brother re
minded me of what I had done in the
way ofrnaking a fool of myself, I told
him I did mot care, so long as I felt
convinced that I had shown nothing
but sound sense in wooing, winning,
and wedding my odd, but good lovim-’
cousin, Agues.
A CURIOUS LETTER.
Louis Napoleon’s Own Story «f Hi, Escape From
Uie Fortress or Hum in 1846.
The following is a translation of a hith*
erto unpublished letter written by Louis
Napoleon just after his escape from the
Fortress of Ham to tUe editor of a news
paper to which tie had contributed during
his imprisonment. Iu a certain poverty
and awkwardness of diction it is faithful
to the original, which was evidently not
intended for publication :
Mij Dear Mr. Degeorge .-—The desire of
once more seeing my father in this life
has made me attempt the (.oldest under
taking that I have ever attempted, and
for which I needed more firmness and’
courage than at Strasbourg and Boulogne
fori was resolved not to endure the ridi
cule that fasteiisou those who are arrested
under a disguise, and a failure would have
been no longer endurable. But to come
to the particulars of my escape.
\ou know tlie ford was guarded by four
hundred men, who furnished a daily guard
of sixty soldiers, who were on duty with
iu and without, the fort; furthermore, the
door of the prison was guarded by three
jailers, two of whom were always on duty.
It were necessary, therefore, in the first
place, to pass before them, then to traverse
all the iuner court before the windows of
she commandant ; having reached there
it was necessary to pass through the gate
where were an orderly and a sergeant, a
gate keeper, a sentinel and finally a post
of thirty men.
Not having been willing to establish
any Communication (with a corruptible
jailer or so,) a disguise was, of course,
necessary. Now as several rooms of the
building I inhabited were undergoing re
pairs, it was easy to take the costume of a
workman. My good and faithful Charles
Thelin procured a blouse and wooden
shoes. I cut off my mustache and took a
board on ray shoulders.
Monday morning 1 saw the workmen
come in at o’clock. When they were
at work Charles took some drink to them
in a loom, so as to get them out of my
way; lie vyas also to call one keeper up
stairs, while Doctor was lalkiug with tiie
others.
Meanwhile, I was hardly out of my room
when I was accosted by a wormau who
fodowed me, taking me forone of his com
rades; at the loot ot the staircase I found
myselt trout to front with a keeper. Luck
ily f put the board before his face and
reached the court, always holding the
board between myself and tbeseutiuel and
those whom 1 met.
When passing before (lie first sentinel I
let fall my pipe, but [ stopped to pick up
the pieces. Then I met the officer of the
guard, but he was reading a letter and did
not notice me. The soldiers of the post at
the gate seemed to wonder at my dress;
the drummer in particular turned several
times to look.
Meanwhile the orderlies opened the
door, and I found myself outside the for
tress : there I met two wcrktneu, who
were coining toward me, and looked at me
attentively. I then turned the board oil
their side, but they appeared so itiquisi
live that I thought I could not escape
them, when I beard them exclaim :
“Oh ! it is Berthoud.”
Once on the outside, I walked rapidly
toward the Saint Quentin load.
A little later, Charles, who had engaged
a carriage lor himself the preceding day,
overtook me, and we reached (Saint Quen
tin. •
I passed through the town on foot, after
takiug off my blouse.
Charles had procured a pjst carriage
under pretence of going to the races at
Cambrai. We reached Valenciennes with
out difficulty, where I took the railway.
I had obtained a Belgian passport, but
it was nowhere asked for. During this
time, Conueau, always so devoted, re
mained in prison, and gave out that I was
ill, so as to give me time to reach the
frontier
I hope he will not have been ill treated ;
that would be, as you may suppose, a
great grief for me.
But, my dear Mr. Degeotge, if I expe
perieuced a lively sentiment of joy when
I found myself outside the fortress, I was
very sadly impressed on passing the fron
tier ; the certainty that the Government
would never set me at liberty, unless 1
consented to dishonor myself, was neces
sary to decide me to quit France; finally,
it was necessary that I should be urged to
this step by the desire of trying all means
to console my father iu his old age. Adieu,
my dear Mr. Degeorge. Although free. J
feel mj'self very unfortunate Be assured
of my warm friendship, and, if you can,
tiy to be useful to my good Conueau.

fI'HE STOMACH Is the great centre which In-
I flueuces the heaifch or disease of the system;
abused, or debilitated by excess, indigestion, of
fensive breath, anil physical prostration are the
na ural consequences. Allied to the brain, it is
the source of headaches, mental depression, ner
vous complaints, and unrefre-hing sleep. ’The
Liver becomes affected, and Lenerates bilious dis
orders, pains iu the side, etc. The Bowels sy m
patiiize by costiveness, diarrhoea, and dysentery.
The principal action ol these Pills is on Hie Htom
ach, and the Liver, Lungs, Bowels, and Kidneys
participate in their recuperative and regenera
tive operation.
ERYSIPELAS AXD SALT RHEUM
Are two of the most common and virulent dis
orders prevalent on this continent. To these ti e

FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
Whether in tlie young or old, married or single,
at the dawn of womanhood or tire tutu ot iile,
these* tonic medicines display so decided an influ
ence that a marked improvement is soon fien ep
tible in tlie health of the patient. Reinga purely
vegetable preparation, they are a safe and reliable
remedy for all classesof females in every condi
tion of health and station of life.
PILES AXD FISTULA.
Every form and feature of these prevalent and
stubborn disorders is eradicated locally and en
tirely by the use of this emollient. Warm fomen
tations should precede its application. Its heal
ing qualities will he found to be thorough and
invariable.
