I was a well man; so I gave thanks and took to those delicacies again.
It seemed a valuable medical course, and I recommended it to a lady.

She had run down and down and down, and had at last reached a point where medicines no longer had any helpful effect upon her.

I said I knew I could put her upon her feet in a week.

It brightened her up, it filled her with hope, and she said she would do everything I told her to do.

So I said she must stop swearing and drinking, and smoking and eating for four days, and then she would be all right again.
