"PERVERTED BY POTTS."

Mrs Dr Potts, who will be remembered by Aucklanders as having- delivered a series of medical lectures to women in this city, chiefly remarkable for their suggestive nnstiness, is lecturing at the St. James' Hall, London. The following amusing- lines, in connection with tho '"Dr.'s" visit to the great metropolis, appear in a London comic weekly : — I took'my Angelina's hand, I pressed it very gently, and I stooped — who wouldn't ? — To kiss her rosy lips, when lo ! She started back, exclaiming " No, — You really shouldn't. " There's fever in your touch — oh, dear, Yeur colour's much too high, I fear. And as you hung, sir, O'er mo just now, I seemed to spy A restless glitter in your eye — Put out your tongue, sir." In sheer astonishment I did — TVhile staring hard — as I was Lid, And Angy, sighing, Ecinarked, " Though you look sirorg and hale, That ' coating ' tells another tale. Some ill implying." Sho felt my pulse, and sharply said, " Too rapid. You should be in bed. I won't receive you Until you're better. Go away. I'll send a cooling draught to-day That will relieve you." Perplexed, I vanished from her view, Then pondered for an hour or two. "If lain vnt tight," I cried, " the answer to the sum Is this — my darling lias become A pronounced Pottite."
