    The poet by whom these verses were written is unknown. By another unknown poet they have been translated into English :— “ Flow kindly on for ever, sacred spring! Still to mankind health’s precious blessing bring. To feeble age restore its strength decay’d.— Her faded beauty to the drooping maid. On all disease exert thy healing power, And to their native shores, in happier hour, Let all return, who hither come to lave The suffering limb, or sip thy limpid wave.” Then, Sir, may the “ sacred spring” of science “ flow kindly on for ever !” THE END. Wilson and Ogilvy, 57, Skinner S;reet, Snowhill, London.
