_A Vendor of "'Ore'ound Tablets"_ (_he is a voluble young man, with considerable lung-power, and a tendency to regard his cough-lozenges as not only physical but moral specifics_). I'm on'y a young feller, as you see, and yet 'ere I _am_, with my four burnin' lamps, and a lassoo-soot as belonged to my Uncle BILL, doin' _wunnerful_ well. Why, I've took over two pound in coppers a'ready! Mind you, I don't deceive you; you may all on you do as well as me; on'y you'll 'ave to git two good ref'rences fust, _and_ belong to a temp'rance society, like I do. This is the badge as I've got on me at this minnit. I ain't always bin like I am now. I started business four year ago, and was doin' wunnerful well, too, till I got among 'orse-copers an' dealers and went on the booze, and lost the lot. Then I turned up the drink and got a berth sellin' these 'ere Wangoo Tablets--and now I've got a neat little missus, and a nice 'ome, goin' on wunnerful comfortable. Never a week passes but what I buy myself something. Last week it was a pair o' noo socks. Soon as the sun peeps out and the doo dries up, I'm orf to Yarmouth. And what's the reason? I've _enjoyed_ myself there. My Uncle BILL, as lives at Lowestoft, and keeps six fine 'orses and a light waggon, _he_'s doin' wunnerful well, and he'd take me into partnership to-morrow, he would. But no--I'm 'appier as I am. What's the reason I kin go on torkin' to you like this night after night, without injury to my voice? Shall I tell yer? Because, every night o' my life, afore I go to bed, I take four o' these Wangoo Tablets--compounded o' the purest 'erbs. You take them to the nearest doctor's and arsk 'im to analyse an' test them as he _will_, and you 'ear what _he_ says of them! Take one o' them tablets--after your pipe; after your cigaw; after your cigarette. You won't want no more drink, you'll find they make you come 'ome reglar every evening, and be able to buy a noo 'at every week. You've ony to persevere for a bit with these 'ere lawzengers to be like I am myself, doin' _wunnerful_ well! You see this young feller 'ere? (_Indicating a sheepish head in a pot-hat which is visible over the back of his stall._) Born and bred in Kenada, _'e_ was. And quite _right!_ Bin over 'ere six year, so o' course 'e speaks the lengwidge. And _quite_ right. Now I'm no Amerikin myself, but they're a wunnerful clever people, the Amerikins are, allays inventin' or suthink o' that there. And you're at liberty to go and arsk 'im for yourselves whether this is a real Amerikin invention or not--as he'll tell yer it _is_--and quite right, too! An' it stands to reason as _he_ orter to know, seein' he interdooced it 'imself and doin' wunnerful well with it ever since. I ain't come 'ere to _rob_ yer. Lady come and give me a two-shillin' piece just now. I give it her back. _She_ didn't know--thort it was a penny, till I told her. Well, that just shows yer what these 'ere Wangoo 'Ore'ound Tablets _are!_
