In 1836 Mr o’Evilly Draso bequeathed ..£40,000 to the Chancellor of the Exchequer "towards extinguishing the national debt," and a few years earlier Miss Helen Blake left .£140,000 for the same purpose. The largest windfall of the kind, however, seems to have been tbo £200,001* bequeathed by Mr John Austin in 1863. Somewhere, a voice is calling, calling, A petulant hoarse refrain; 'Tis the voice of a loved one bawling. Calling me back again. A wail from the -nursery falling, falling. Poor Clarice has croup, I'm sure; The voice of my darling calling, calling. For Woods' Great Peppermint Cure.
