CHILDHOOD. 

 Pictured in memory''s mellowiDg glass, how sweet 

 Our iai'aut days, our infant joys to greet ; 

 To roam in fancy throngli each cherish'd scene, 

 The village church-yard, and the village green, 

 The woodland walk remote, the greenwood glade, 

 The mossy seat beneath the hawthorn's shade. 

 The white-washM cottage, where the woodbine grew, 

 And all the favourite haunts our childhood knew ! 

 How sweet, while all the evil shuns the gaze. 

 To view the unclouded skies of former days 1 



Beloved age of innocence and smiles, 



Wh':n each wiug'd hour some new delight beguiles. 



When the gay heart, to life's sweet day-spring true, 



Still iinds some insect pleasure to pui-sue. 



Blest Childhood, hail 1 — Thee simply will I sing, 



And from myself the artless picture bring; 



These long-lost scenes to me the past restore. 



Each humble friend, each phasurey now no more, 



And evVy stump familiar to my sight, 



Recalls some fond idea of delight. 



This shrubby knoll was once my favourite seat ; 

 Here did 1 love at. evening to retreat, 

 And muse alone, till in the vault of night, 

 Hesper, aspiring, show'd his golden light. 

 Here once again remote from human noise, 

 I sit me down to think of farmer joys ; 

 Pause on each scene, each treasur'd scenc^ ODCe more, 

 And once again each infant walk explore. 

 While as each grove and lawn I recognize, 

 My melted soul suffuse; in my eyes,

 TRU.'iS— The etBcacy of this Truss in the cure of Her- 

 nia or Rupture, is no longer a subject of doubt or ex- 

 periment. The cures it has so frequently efiected, on 

 very aged people, and so universally on children, has 

 induced the members of the Oneida Mc dical Soricts to 

 present Dr. Hull, through the medium of one of its mem- 

 bers, the following certiiicate ; 



We, the undersigned, members of the Medical Socie- 

 ty, ol the county of Outida, sensible of the indefatig 



j appear to have been made at St. Genevieve andi ^,1^ exertions of our President, Dr. Hull, in inven'.ing 



New Bourbon, which were founded soon alter 

 the peace of 176:". In the succeeding year, St. 

 Louis was commenced : it was foimded by a 

 company of traders, who associated under the 

 name of '' Pierre Laclade.Masan, &. Co."' They 



and bringing into use his valuable Truss, are happy to 

 observe, that the numerous cures effected by its use, on 

 very agtd people within our knowledge, render it iti 

 our opinion, suptrior to any ever introduced in Europe 

 or America. We most sincerly congratulate the pub- 

 lic on the discovery of an instrument so well calculated

" In compliance with your desire I hereby inform j'ou 

 that 1 have for several years txptrienctd the great utili- 

 ty of Dr. Hull's hinge Truss. It is in my opinion will 

 calculated to effect all I'ne valuable purposes to be ex- 

 pected from any instrument of that kind. Its facility 

 of adjujtmeut, firmness of support, ease and convenience 

 in all the attitudes of body, are properties by which it 

 surpa.sfis all others whirh have fallen under my ob- 

 servation ; and I feel it incumbent upon me to recom- 

 mend to all who may he afllicted with Hernia, to have 

 recourse to this isvai. cable instrument as a safe- 

 guard agaidst accidents of a fatal tendency."
