I am putting up some compounds in which I really have faith.

Of course they have got to await their time to be tested, but I believe in them.

I have grown stuff so carefully, gathered it according to rules, washed it decently, and dried and mixed it with such scrupulous care.

Night after night I've sat over the books until midnight and later, studying combinations; and day after day I've stood in the laboratory testing and trying, and two or three will prove effective, or I've a disappointment coming." "You haven't wasted time! I'd much rather take medicines you make than any at the pharmacies.

Several times I've thought I'd ask you if you wouldn't give me some of yours.
