TOMBSTONE EPITAPHS.

The unveracity of tombstone epitaphe has become proverbial, yet the old Eng lish epitaph was frequently truthful, even while observing the injunction to speak: no evil of the dead. An inscription over the grave of a certain Mrs. Jones which Mr. Edmund Gosse has quoted, reads:

Here lies Mary Jones, the wife of William Jones, Honour ber memory for she was lenient when her husband was in liquor.

And in the churchyard of Newhaven, Sussex, Thomas Tipper, a local brewer, who died in 1795, is thus commemorated: Philosophy and History well he knew, Was versed in Physick and in Surgery

One of the most succinct of English epitaphs may be read just within the gateway of Shoreditch Churchyard:

THE MAGIC OF ZAM-BUK.

The Most Wonderful Healer, The World has Ever Known.

Zam-buk is the product of years of scientific search for an ideal healer free from the danger and limitations of old and trade skin applica tions, and which shall also prosess stronger Lealing zetion, whether for superficial wunnd or for long standing and distiguring skin diseases.

There is certainty of medical action in Zam- Buk because it derives its rare properties from Nature's own healing herbs. There is also safety in ite use because is Abschitely Frea From Animal Fats or mineral poisons found in common ointments and salves In addition there is simplicity in the fact that Zam-Buk is ready for use at any mament.

Nothing at all can compare with Zan-Buk for its splendid healing, soothing and antiseptic powers.

Applied to any cut wound or sore, Zam-Buk is almost magical in nothing away pain, irritation and inflammation and it speedily penetrates to the underlying tissues where icin disesse germe are moantly located. These it immediately destroys, and when the tissues have been thoroughly purified, then the stinn- lative and healing agents contained in Zaru-Buk promote the speedy growth of new healthy skin,

It is a sommbat noisy bedroom, divided in special ailver-lined vessels. Never at any by "an iron railing from the rear of time during manufacture is Zam-Bak touched London trahe, but the doctor sleeping and antiseptic powers are well demonstrated

Of honest John Parkhurst, When here could' danes or sing.

But always was true to

His Sovereign, Lord and King,

Charles the First.

You smile, but turn to the "In Memo- [riam" columns of any popular paper and you may conclude that our great- grandfathers were as" gond júdges of the fitting thing as their descendants.

The sententious wisdom of the age found expression in inscriptions carved" qver |chimney-pieces as well as on tombstones. An example from a Heottish reside, dated 1601, is typical of the time:

As with the fire.

So with thy God do stand;

Keep nor far off...

Nor come thou too near hand

Another old one reprodued in a modern house is as follows:

As you sit by my fire yourself for to

Take heed that your tongue doth your)

neighbour no harme."

That advice is always up to date, and would adorn 4 silver-plated radiator no less than a stone chimney.

Operauiong in those carly days were deemed worthy of commemoration on the tombstone, and often with good reason since they frequently caused the tomb stope to he required. At Lindfield a stone for Richard Turner (died 1788) has this verse:

Long was my pain, great was my grief, Surgeons I'd many, but no relief. I trust through Christ to raise, with

the just

My leg and thigh was buried first.

It was a sturdy generation and took its operations, like its poetry, without chloro- „formi.

In the church yard, at Kingsbridge (South Devron) there are at least two quaint epitaphs. One just outside the chancel door contains these lines:-

Hero lie at the chancel door Here is because I'm poor;

The farther in the more you pay,

Here le as warm as they,

Not ar hay from this is a tombstone to the memory of a little girl on which inscribed this epitaph:

God takes the good

Too good on earth to stay.

And leaves the bad

Teo bad to take, away, “

Another from an old tombstone in the parish churchyard of West Alvington (South Devon) is worth adding:

This young man when in his sickness.
