Unco, 1 think at Baltimore, my wife was very ill and. wanted soiie brandy, '• We were staying in a strictly temperance hotel, where not only was the bar closed, but the waiters were forbidden to serve stimulants in the private apartments. The sable servitor who gave us tho information' very good naturedly suggested a way of getting out of the difficulty. 'lf lady ken drink rum, ear, I tick I kin git her a nice rum bitta from tho drug store.' 1 told him that the lady abhored rum; to which the resourceful darky replied, 'Git very good sherry wine bitta, sa, from the drug stores.' We thought a ehorry and soda might for the nonce, sorye the turn of a Baud S, and presently the friendly waiter brought us along a quadrangular package labelled, Bay,' Dr Yauhumbug's Celebrated Stomachic Aromatic Medicinal Bitters,' Opening this, we dißinterred, from coyoring after cover* ing, from envelope aft or ■• envelope of printed circulars and testimonials lauding tho virtues uf 'Dr. Yanhumbug's Celebrated Stomachic Bitters,' a buttle containing, about half-a-pint ;'af fairly good sherry, without any bitters at all. 1 was glad to pay threo-quartors of a dollar for what was at the time really a boon,"
