Obigxnal Poetby. A long way after Scott. Breathes there a man with corns so bad Who never to himself hath said This agony I can't endure, Whose Sole hath ne'er in Bluchers burned As doivn Bridge-street his footsteps turned From tvancTring far to find a cure. If such there be, go mark him well, Bui him ivith joy and rapture swell, Sigh though his title, proud his name, Healy & Son, well known to fame, The right to cure his troubles claim, Despite the Opposition Snobs around, Whose gas is but an empty sound. The prices they have lowered down, And sell the Cheapest Boots in town. So all that would great Bargains gather Go down the street, try Healy's leather. Gentlemen's Elastic Boots reduced to 12s 6d, original price l*7s 6d. Ladies' Best Lasting Boots, rejdueed to 9s 6d, original price 12s 6d. All other Goods in proportionate reductions at HEALY & SON'S.
