Iam myself again.There's truce to care, and adieu to pain,Welcome the cup with its creamy loam;Farewell to work and a merry home ;In bar-room pleasures I love to roll."Like a flash there came to the drunkard'sScott's Emulsion is thesiderichest qf fat-foods yet His angel child who that nighthad died ;the easiest fat-food to With looks so gentle and sweet and fond,She touched his glass with her little wand;take.
