IT will bo remembered by all readers of Ancient History, that in tho rei<;n of Brian Boroo, tho beautiful Princess Squin telhi was seized upon with SH affection of tho eyes, and how the Court Physician in vain operated on her optics. At length the fame of one Dr. Finnegan penetrated tho Kind's Court, and, after many efforts, ho at length succeeded in being allowed to operato on Squintella. He approached her Highness with that diffidence and ..'al? lant ry which always has been so charac? teristic of the Finnegan's-and even now is as bright as of yore -and holding un to her nose two pounds of LIMBURGER CHEESE, her eyes at once resumed their natural shape. Squintella, from that day forth, shone "Queon of Love and Beauty" at her papa's Court. Finnegan, shortly afterwards, was gathered to his fathers; but. prior to his lamented decease, he confided the secret of tho manufacture of this wonderful Cheese to tho President of the United States, who furnished thc receipt to the present manufacturer. Several wonderful effects have even thus soon followed its introduction herc, certi licatcs of which will appear in a future is? sue. Hole agent, GEO. SYMMEHS.
