"The Coming of Arth nr.'
In tho poem of thc "Holy Grail," the longest
of thc four new idyls of Tennyson, thc coming or
King Arthur ;s timb described by Belhceut, Qneen
or Orkeuey, in answer to a question or Klug
Leodoygran, thc rather ortho Princess Guinevere,
who afterwards became the guilty spouse or
Arthur:
"Ye come from Arthur's court: think ye this
So few his kuights, however brave they be
Hath body enow to beat hiB foemen down?"
"0 king," she cried, "and I will tell thee: few,
Few. but all brave, all or one mind with him;
For I was near him wis ;n the savage yells
Of tither's peerage died, and Arthur sat
Crowned on the dais, and his warriors cried,
'Be thou thc klug, and we will work thy will
Who love thee.' Then the king, in low, deep
tones,
And simple wonjil great authority,
Bouud them by BdTjtraight vows to his own self,
That when they rose, knighted from kneeling,
some
Were pale as a: thc passing of a ghosr,
Some tlush'd, and others dazed, as one who
wakes
Hatr-blmdcd at thc coming or alight.
"But when he spake and cheered his Table
Bound
With large, divine, and comfortable words
Beyond my tongue to tell thee-I beheld
From eye "to jyc thro' all their Order flash
A momen'ary likeness or the king;
And ere lt left their faces, thro' the cross
And those around it and the crucitlcd,
Dowu from the casement, over Arthur, smcte
Flame-color, vert, and azure, i;. three rays,
One falling upon each of three fair queens,
Who stood in silence near his throne, the friends
Or Arthur, gazing ou him, tall, with bright,
Sweet faces, who will help him at his need*.
.' And there I saw Mage Merlin, whose vast
wit fig
And hundred winters are but as thc hands
Of loyal vassals toiling for their liege.
* "And near him stood the Lady of the Lake
Who knows a subtler magic than his own
Clothed in white samite, mystic, wonderful.
She gave the king his huge cross-hilrcd sword,
Whereby to drive thc heathen out:a mist
Of incense curl'd about her, and her race
Wellnigh was hidden m the minster gloom,
But there was heard among the holy hymns
A voice as or the waters, for she dwells
Down In a deep, calm, whatsoever storms
May shake the world, tad. when the surface
rolls,
Hath power to walk the waters like cur Lord.
"There likewise I beheld Excalibur
Before him nt his crowning borne the sword
That rose from out the bosom of the lake.
And Arthur rowed across and took lt-rich
With jewels, elfin Urm, on the hilt.
Bewildering heart and eye-the blade so bright
That men arc blinded by it-on one side,
Graven in thc oldest tongue of all this world,
.Take me,' but turn the blade and you shall see,
/nd written in the speech ye speak yourself.
.Cast me away!' and sad waa ?i?m?"? frW
Taking it, but old Merlin counselled him.
Take thou and strike! The time to cast away
Is yet far off; so this great brand the king
Took, and by this will beat his foemen down."
A NEW BYRON STORY.
THE LIFE OF MEDORA LEIGH, THE
ALLEGED "CHILD OF SIN.?
A Sad and Revolting Narrative.
In "The True Story of Lady Byron's Life," ?
Mrs. Stowe wrote: "There was an unfortu?
nate child ot sin born w ith thc curse upon
her, ove? whose wayward nature Lady Byron
watched with a mother's tenderness. She was
the one who could have patience when the
patience of every one else failed; and though
the task was a difficult one, from the strange,
abnormal propensities to evil in the subject of
it, yet Lady Byron never faltered, and never
gave over till death took thc responsibility
from her hands." Many have supposed that
this child, like the crime of which thc child
was assumed to be thc fruit, was only thc
phantom of a disordered brain; but the writer
of the article In the last Quarterly Review, in a
note on the passage wc have quoted, made thc
following significant remark: "As thc child
was not what the context may suggest, and
has nothing to do with the story, this para,
graph is to the last degree wanton and cruel,
as every one vrho knoics xchat thai child icon
must /cei."
What that child was, a book Just published
in London, entitled "Medora Leigh: A History ,
and an Autobiography," and edited by Charles i
Mackay, professes to reveal. Incidentally it 1
also undertakes to show that Lady Byron's ac?
cusation against her husband was unfounded,
and to explain how that accusation came to bc
made. We transfer to our columns, from thc
New York Tribune, thc following interesting
and elaborate analysis of thc narrative:
We may warn our readers at thc start, 1st,
that, supposing the narrative to be authentic,
it proves nothing as to thc truth or uutruih of
the charge in controversy, though lt opens
some curious conjectures; and 2d, that no evi?
dence is afforded of its authenticity, while
several circumstances connected with the pub?
lication are suspicious. Dr. Mackay informs
us that he received ihe autobiography from "a
friend," among whose papers it had lain unhced- 1
ed for 26 years. He does not say who his !
friend is; he docs not distinctly inform us
?here that friend obtained thc MS. For the '
rjresen^ j-iC g?t??i w0 nmsl be content to know
that the friend is a Mr. S-, and that he came
Into possession ol' thc papers while he was en?
deavoring to bring about a reconciliation bc- '
tween Lord Byron and thc unfortunate person :
whose story "they relate. This is about as
unsatisfactory as anything could well be;
and we might reject the book at once ;
were it not tor one or two circumstances
which indirectly and Imperfectly vouch for i
it. Il is clear, "for Instance, both from Mrs.
Stowe's account and thc comment of the well- 1
informed writer in The Quarterly, that there ;
was a child of Mr?. Leigh's upon whom some
Bort of mystery rested; and in the narrative
here presented correspondence is mentioned :
or quoted with various members of the Byron !
family and other well known persons-corres?
pondence which wotdd be at oacc repudiated ]
if the story were a mere book-maker's fraud.
Passing over the shameful language which the 1
editor permits himself lo uso toward Mrs. 1
Stowe in the introductory chapter-the calum?
nious and utterly uncalled for remarks about ;
American "nigger-worshippers,''ultra Republi?
cans, and grim Puritans, who plotted to de- 1
stroy tho Onion as a means ol getting rid ol' !
slavery; and thc 'inprofitable resume of Hie
whole Byron controversy which fills nearly a
third of the liberally padded book, we come !
to the history ol' Medora Leigh, the fourth '
daughter of Lord Byron's sister.
In the summer ol' 1843, twenty-seven years 1
after the separation of Lord and" Lady Byron, 1
and nineteen years after the poet's death, 1
Medora Leigh, then twenty-eight years ol' ago, 1
came from Paris to London accompanied 'by 1
her child, a daughter of ni ne or ten."She is de- 1
scribed as good-looking, lively and agreeable, 1
but in bad nealth and without money. Her '
expenses in travellimr had been defrayed bv a 1
retired English officer, Captain Dc B-l- 1
[another anonymous witness, j whose acquain- 1
tance she had made at Hyeres, in thc south of <
France, whore she lived for some time before '
going to Parts. He found her destitute iu thc :
French capital; he heard her story; ho learn- 1
ed from her lips that she was Ute daughter of 1
Mrs. Leigh by Lord Byron, and until ]
recently had been treated with groat kind- '
ness and liberality by Lady Byron; and 1
he urged he to go to London and 1
plead her cause in person with her 1
rich and pv .verfitl relatives, helping '
her out of his slender purse, and oven sup"
porting her tor some time aller hor arrival iu
England. In London she had an interview
with Dr. Maekay's Mr. 8 -, ono of thc part?
ners in a law firm with which Captain Dc B_
had dealings. She wrote out tho painful story
of her lifo, and convinced him ot'thc truth of
all her assertions. He had several intorviows
with Lady Byron's legal adviser?, Dr. Lush?
ington and Sir George Stephen, with a
view of bringing about a reconciliation. Ho
failed In that; he failed also in an effort lo In?
duce thc-family to refund what Captain De
B-had advanced. But before wo pursue
this part of thc history any furl her it will bo
convenient to disregard Dr. Maekay's order of
narrativo, and look at the extraordinary auto?
biography which this handsome woman ol'
twenty-eight laid before her counsel:
"I am tho fourth child of a family of seven. My
chipst sister. Georgiana, mat rled"Mr. Henry Tre?
varnon, a distant cousin, in 1S20, when ? was
panv them to a country house which had bc
placed at i'.elr disposal by my aunt, Annabel
Lady Byr^o, during thc time of my sister's I
preaching confinement. The house was in t
neighborhood of Canterbury. .* * *
".My sister's illness, before her conflnemei
was the occasion of my being left much alo
with Mc TrcvanicTi. Indeed, I found my?
thrown entirely upon him for society. 1 w
with him both .indoors and out, by day and I
night, and was frequently sent by my sister in
ids bedroom on errands after every one else
thc house had retired to rest. Some monti
passed in this manner, during which Mr. Ti
vanion took advantage o? my youth and wea
ness, and effected my ruin, and I found myself Ilk
Iv to become a motlier by one 1 had ever dislike
Mr. Trevaulon, when made aware of my posilio
implored mc to tell Georgiana thc truth, ar
throw him and myself upon her mercy. I did s
My misery and my repentance appeared to moi
her much; and "she blamed herself for harli
thrown mc so much lu Henry's (Mr. Trevauion'
way. I was but tineen years of age at this tin
-In thc year 1830."
Mr. and Mrs. Trcvanion curried the unforti
nate girl to Calais, and there she was prem?
tardy delivered of a child, which was left 1
charge of a medical man, and died at the ap
ol" three months. She went back to her motl
er's house, concealing what had happened, an
there Trevinion seduced her again. Mr
Leigh was LOW taken into her confidence, an
treated lier with great kindness. Mrs. Treval
ion was als) informed, and took her sister o
lo the country, where, three months aile;
ward, that is, in June, 1S31, she was surprise
by a visit Irom Colonel Leigh. Georgiana an
Trevarnon had informed her that Colonel Leig
was not lier father, but she did not believ
them, and Mr. L . gh himself was so far froi
suspecting anything ol' thc kind that h
showed more affection for Medora than fo
any ol the other children of the family. Ignt
rant of her shame, but alarmed perhaps a
some of the manifestations of a "wayward na
turc" and "strange, abnormal propensities,
to which Mrs. Stowe refers, he took bert
London; and placed her in a private htnati
asylum, where she remained about a month
There Trevarnon tovad means to communient
wit li lier and arrange her escape :
"One day the lady to whose care I had been in
trusted told mc that if 1 liked to walk out of th
liGuse nobody would snip me, and chowed nu
how to remove thc chains aftlxed to thc door,
did not hesitate in any choice between two evils
bul at once put on my bonnet, followed her in
structions, and found f revanion outside waltinj
to receive me. Wc left thc street with all possi
bichaste and secrecy, which we might havi
spared ourselves, as nobody attempted to follow
us. We made our way to thc Continent, and foi
two years alter this ti"ic Urea" together as mat
aud wile on thc coast ol Normandy, under thc as
Sumed name of Monsieur mid Madame Aubin.'
This elopement, Medora says, was connivee
at by her sister, who wanted to get rid ol hoi
husband, (and no wonder.) and did in fact ap
ply for a divorce, but it was not granted. Wt
pass over the life of tho guilty pair in France.
There the daughter Marie, whom wc have al
ready mentioned, was born-the only solace o
the wretched existence ol this thrice unfortu?
nate child of sin. She corresponded with hci
mother, who sent her what Hule money she
could spart?-but tho Leighs were always ir
pecuniary embarrassment. Other relative.?
did something for her, and in 1838 shaJcft hw
paramour-if that name could bo applied to a
man she never loved-and went to a neighbor?
ing town. At last, in 18-10, she received an
affectionate letter from Lady Byron, with
offers ol'assistance and protection, and an in?
vitation to go with her lo Paris. She accepted
the offers with joy. What followed she must
tell in her own words:
"At Fontamchleu, where she was detained by
illness, Lady Byron informed me of thc cause wi
the deep Interest she felt, and must ever feel, foi
mc. Her husband ha<l been my father. She im?
plored and sought my affection by every means:
and almost exacted my confidence to thc mos!
unlimited extent. I was willing and anxious, in
anv and every way 1 could, to prove both my
gratitude and the desire ! so sincerely felt to repay,
hy my affection ami devotion, any pain she IUUAI
have felt for circumstances connected willi my
birth and her separation from Lord Byron. Uer
otilv wish, she sahl, was to provide for inc, ac?
cording to Lord Byron's intentions respect lng
me. and according to my rank in life. Sile
evinced much anxiety for my health and comfort,
expressed indignation for ali 1 had suffered, spuke
of thc comfort 1 would be lo her, and of the no
CCSSlty that 1 should bc a devoted child to her."'
She went with Lady Byron to England. She
was treated by her, and by Lord and Lady
Lovelace, with the grealest kindness. I was
taught, she says, io regard Ada as my sislcr.
For awhile lt seems as If hf r life must have
been smooth and happy. But disagreements
followed with her protectress, in which, though
Medora lays the blame on Lady Byron's temper,
lt ls not difficult to perceive from the Autobi?
ography traces ol' the wild and ungovernable
nature of which evidence enough hits already
been shown, and (something perhaps of thu
suspiciousness which is so characteristic of
insanity. There was a law-suit for Hie posses?
sion of a deed ol'appointment executed 1 y Mrs.
Leigh and Lady Byron, by which thc sum ol'
?3[)W was to be paid Medora after thc deal h ot
I hose ladies; and this suit apparent ly was Hu?
main cause of the trouble. At any rate it was
in-ranged that Medora should go with lit-r
daughter to Hyeres, accompanied by a maid
and valet (husband and wile,) to whom Lally
Byron inti usted the disbursement of thc sum's
she allowed for her niece's maintenance.
Here the Autobiography becomes obscure;
in some places unintelligible; in some Irra?
tional; filled with details about money deal?
ings, complaints of thc maid and valet whom
the writer believes to have been Lady Byron's
spies, and angry allusions to Lady Byron.
Mrs. Leigh and" Mrs. Trevauion, The editor
Informs us that this latter part of the manu?
script Is not in the handwriting of Miss Leigh,
but was apparently dictated lo an aman?
uensis of very imperfect education. We leam
trom lt, however, thal she offended Lady By?
ron very deeply by removing to Paris, but her
ladyship afterward offered to settle upon her
?300 a. year on certain conditions, which wore
not accepted. Thc Deed of Appointment and
i box of other Important papers had been left
in Lady Byron's hands. Medora Leigh sent
the maid to get them, purposing io raise
money by selling her reversionary interest in
the Deed. Lady Byron, however, rcluscd to
deliver them except lo Medora in person.
Herc Captain De B- appears upon thc
scene; Miss Leigh goes to London, and the
Autobiography "closes.
What finally became of thc papers is not
shown. When the French maid left the house,
the box disappeared, and it was supposed that
she had stolen it-not for her mistress, with
whom she had quarrelled; but to be used in
extorting money from Hie Byron family. Al
any rate wc find her husband the valet soon
alter ward making a demand of some kind ol'
Lady Byron, and threatening to publish the
story ol'Medora Leigh to all thc world. Yet
in tho negotiations between Mr. S- and
L'idy Byron's representatives to which we now
return, the principal conditions exacted of
Miss Leigh was that she should surrender thal
Joed to the custody ol'trustees, the nionev be?
ing Intended not so much as lor her personal
aseas for thc benefit ol' her chilli, lt was
also required that she should make a
"written confession of her sincere con?
trition for her conduct to Lady Byron,"
and consent to return to her seclusion in
France. On these terms Sir George Stephen
writes that he is confident her friends will se?
cure for her a comfortable and permanent
home. "I personally know," continues Sir
George, "the motive as well as the extent of
tho kindness that she has shown to Miss Leigh,
und there arc very few, certulnly not more
than three, who know it as well. She has de?
served all that is grateful and all that is
respect Ad at Miss Leigh's hands: and, there
lore, till her feelings are consulted and satis
8ed, so tar as under the present unfortunate
circumstances they can be, I will never ap?
proach her, or any of her family, as an inter?
cessor for further assistance." To the second
md lird stipulations Miss Leigh made no
)bJectton ; but she was obstinate about thc
Jeed, and so negotiations were broken (iff.
Meanwhile she had written to several of her
.datives, most of whom took no notice of her
ettcrs. She sent to her kinsman, thu Duke of
Leeds, an abstract ol' her autobiography, (it
s given in the book,) and received
io answer. She went to her mother's
House, and wus dented admission. She wrote
to her, and the lei ter was not acknowledged,
rhercafter the unfortunate woman seems to
have passed out ol'thu knowledge of the mys?
terious Mr. S-from whom wc have all th?se
particulars; but If Mrs. Stowe's account is cor?
rect, she must have made her peace with Lad?
Byron at last. Mr. S-writes under dale of
September 24, I860: -I ascertained that the
so-called 'secret' was known to very many
persons besides Dr. Lushington and Sir George
Stephen, and I do not know how to reconcile
this ?'act with the 'dignified and hutipninimons
silence' c laimed as a merit for Lady Byron- for
if she did not impart (he knowledge, who else
can have done so?" This agrees with the state?
ments ot Mr John Robertson ol' Brighton and
the Rev. Francis Trench, whose letters sonic
time ago In thu London papers represent
Lady Byron as distributing lier confidences on
this subject during the latter part or her life to
a great number ol'lier relatives and friends.
The Autobiography ol' Medora Leigh, judged
entirely by Itself, would probably Impress niost
people as Hie production of a disordered brain:
but lt should be remembered that in none ol'
the letters here printed, in which the affairs of
the poor woman are discussed by Dr. Lushiu"
tou, Sir George Stephen, and Mr. S-, is there
any hint that she was considered Insane, O'?
tea! auy ol' her representations were false. If
Mr. S-and Captain De B-had ignorantly
espoused thc cause of a crazy woman, it is
inconceivable that thc representatives or thc
Byron family should not have informed them
at once of thc character of their client. It
must, be remembered, however, on the other
hand, that while there can be no doubt (if these
documents aro genuine,) that Medora Leigh
was the child of Bj ron's sister, there is no
proof that she was Byron's daughter, nor In?
deed any proof that she was not thc legitimate
offspring ol* Colonel Leigh. In tile negotia?
tions for her relief, the question of her pater?
nity docs not seem to have boen raised,
although thc story of incest was known to Dr.
Lushington, Sir George Stephen, and many
others, and was probably tho subject of con?
versation with Mr. 6-.
So far this strange, repulsive book, with it
dcvil's own history of infamy, is a strong con
Urination of Mrs. Stowe; but after all what does
it prove ? Only that Lady Byron told to many
persons, at least as early ?s 1843, the same
story tliat 6hc told to Mrs. Stowe in 1850: that
there was an unfortunate wayward child of Mrs.
Leigh's upon whom Lady Byron, believing her
to bo the fruit ol'her husband's incestuous pas?
sion, lavished a mother's care; probably that
this child believed Lady Byron's story of her
shameful birth. This leaves the problem as
far as ever from a solution, and ol'course does
not weaken in the least the tremendous force
ol'Lady Byron's letters to her sister-in-law,
which were published in thc Quarterly
Review, or the fact mentioned in thc post
cript to thc same periodical, that when
Lord Broughton (Hobhouse) acting for By?
ron, met Mr. (afterwards Sir Robert) Wil?
mot Horton, Lady Byron's representative,
with a view to "an amicable settlement,
and questioned him upon all tho charges
and rumors which had been uttered against
.the poet as a cuiisc for thc separation, Mr.
Horton, in thc name of thc lady, expressly re?
pudiated the specific charge which has now
been revived by Mrs. Stowe. Dr. Maekay's
theory is that so'far as Mrs. Leigh is concerned
thc present accusation dates from Mrs. Trc
vanion's statement to Medora about 18'?l that
Colonel Leigh was not her father. He be?
lieves that it was the wicked invention of an
outraged wife who wanted to get rid ol' lier
husband, after she had once discovered his In?
fidelity. If she obtained a divorce, Trcvnnbn
could not marry his wife's sister, and ,lit was
necessary to make Medora believe that she was
not really Georgiana's sister-or. at all events,
not the child of Georgiana's lather-In order
that the unfortunate girl, even at thc sacrifice
of her mother's good natue, might delude her?
self with the hope that if thc divorce were ob
(ained, there would romain no real obstacle
to her marriage with her seducer." Lord By?
ron's name, it will bo observed, was not cou?
pled with the storv at this time; Medora was
onlv told she was tho illegitimate child of her
mother. It was from Lady Byron, in 1840, that
she loamed thc name of her lather. Dr. Mackay
believes that Lady Byron learned it from Georgi?
ana Trevanion,and that unnatural woman either
invented it altogether for the shameful pur?
pose we have mentioned, or possibly, got it
from Mrs. Charlemont. To us this theory seems
incredible. Jt supposes a moro loathsome de?
pravity in .Mrs. Trevarnon than has ever been
attributed to any of the actors in this shocking
drama. It supposes that, for no adoquaLe rea?
son, she would blast tho reputation of her
mother, and condemn her sister to a life of
shame, ll she wanted a divorce, she had
cause already, for adultery hud been commit?
ted, and proving that Medora was her half
sister would not further her plans. It is much
moro likely that she never made any such reve?
lation. Wc have only Medora's word for lt;
and that ls worth very Utile In such u case as
this. She blames her mother and her sister
l-ir exposing her to tho danger which proved
her ruin. She even charges thc sister with
virtually enticing her to sin. Probably these
charges' are purely fictitious, designed to soften
the horrors ol' her narrative and stand for her
oxen.-os.
Dr. Mackay argues that Lady Byron cannot
have entertained tho suspicion or belief which
she communicated to Medora until some time
later than lids supposed revelation of 1831, be?
cause her account of tho separation, published
ia Moore's life in PviO, seems inconsistent with
it. But in thc first place thal account Is not
really inconsistent with a belief in the charge
ot'incest; It is only Inconsistent, with a willing?
ness lo have that belief suspected. And again,
even ifsitc tilJ not know it in 1830, it is queer
logic to conclude that she could not have
known it in 1831. There ls another diffi?
culty, however, which the editor has ap?
parently overlooked. Mr. S- says that
Dr. Lushington and others, in 1843, wore in pos?
session ol'the ?"secret"' which Lady Byron con?
fided to Mrs. Stowe as the cause ol tho separa?
tion. Aro wo to Infer that thc "secret" which
she imparted to "her adviser in 1-31G was
different from tho secret, which she imparted
to ltira later ? There aro obvious difficulties in
believing thnt ft was thc same; there are equal?
ly obvious difficulties in believing that it was
different except on thc supposition that she had
become upon this one point of unsound mind
-a supposition In which Dr. Maekay's book
ui:on the whole tends to confirm ns._

YE lt'S CATHARTIC PILLS,
FUR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A LAXATIVE
MEDICINE.
- Perhaps no ono medl
?5y cine ls so universally re
/?r quired by everybody as
j?f a cathartic, nor was
,lgl ever any before so uni
I^^t^ff^ versally adopted Into
1 ~??*\ US0, every country
e l\ <???l and among nil classes.
vJ^Wf?'W?SSt 38 this mild but clllcieut
\L%)7^-^BW purgative PILL. The
T?-IN ?5**' obvious reason ls, that
ftt?jf^^-^^?M?^' il a more reliable and
_~^WMBli m gtwEi^" ''1 '" 11ctfeeluat rem
?JJ M.-, %r?^n. c?y t?um any other.
Those who have tried it, know that lt cured them:
those who have not, know that lt cures their
neighbors and friends, and all know that what it
does once lt does always-that lt never nilli
through any fault or neglect or Its conipuJltlon.
We have thousands upon thousands of the certifi?
cates of their remarkable cures or thc following
complaints, but such cures aro known In every
neighborhood, and we ueed not publish them.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in al! climates;
containing neither calomel or any deietcrinni
drug, they may bc taken with safety by anybody.
Their sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and
makes them pleasant to take, while being purely
vegetable no harm can arise from their use in auy
quantity.
' They "operate by their powerful Influence on th?
Internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate
it. Into healthy action-remove the obst rn el ions ol
the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of
the body, restoring their irregular action to heall li,
and bv correcting, wherever they exist, SUCH
derangements as arc the first origin or disease.
Minute directions arc given in the wrapper on
the box. Tor thc following complaints, which these
PILLS rapidly cure:
For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LISTLESSNESS
LANGUOR ami Loss of APPETITE, they should be
taken moderately to stimulate the stomach and
restore its healthy tone and action.
For LIVER COMPLAINT and Its various symp?
toms, BILIOUS HEADACHE, SICK HEADACHE, JAUN?
DICE or GREEN SICKNESS, BILIOUS COLIC ami
BILIOUS FEVERS, they should bc judiciously taken
for each case, to correct the diseased action or
remove the obstructions which cause it.
For DYSENTERY or DIARRHOEA, but one mild
dose Is generativ required.
For RHEUMATISM, GOUT, GRAVEL, PALPITATION
OF THE HEART, PAIN IN THE SIDE, BACK and
LUNGS, they should be continuously taken, ns re?
quired, to change the diseased action or the sys?
tem. With such change those complaints dis?
appear.
For DROPSY and DROPSICAL SWELLINGS they
should be taken In large and frequent closes to
produce the ctrect of a drastic purge.
For SUPPRESSION a large dose should bc taken
as it produces Hie desired effect by sympathy.
As a DINNER PILL, lake one or two FILLS lo pro?
mote digestion and relieve thc stomach.
Au occasional dose stimulates thc stomach anti
bowels Into healthy action, restores thc appetite,
and Invigorates the system. Hence lt ls orten ad?
vantageous where no serious derangement exists.
One who reels tolerably well, often linds that a
dose or these PILIS makes him reel decidedly bet?
ter, from their cleansing und rcuovallng effect un
thc digestive apparatus.
