Sacred to the Memory Of Wellington Liberty League
Ætat Six Weeks,
Introduced into this vale of tears with effusive sympathy by Doctors Kennedy Mac., John Thomas Hornsby, C. Wilson, and Mrs. Schoch, who, finding the infant deficient in vitality, called in the services of Professor Menteath. He pronounced it a lusus natura, and not possessed of either stamina or brains, advised its extinction, and declined to act further, as the paternity of the monstrosity was more than doubtful.
Granny and the liberal medicos employed all their skill to keep breath in the infant, but in spite of all stimulants it breathed its last at a symposium on Wednesday night, regretted by few and mourned for by none.
Requiescat in Pace.
