CHAPTER XXXII

You won't try one ?" "I would rather not." "Well, here is my circular, containing accounts of remarkable cures performed.

Permit me to present you a box." "Thank you," said Harry, dubiously.
"You'll probably be sick before long," said the doctor, cheerfully, "and then the pills will come handy." "Doctor," said Ferguson, gravely, "I find my hair getting thin on top of the head.
