A MESMERIC ADVERTISEMENT.

Wanted, by Mons. Lafontaine, a few fine able-bodied young men, who can

suffer the running of pins into their legs without flinching, and who can

stare out an ignited lucifer without winking. A few respectable-looking

men, to get up in the room and make speeches on the subject of the

mesmeric science, will also be treated with. Quakers' hats and coats are

kept on the premises. Any little boy who has been accustomed at school to

bear the cane without wincing will be liberally treated with.
