had over and over preached the same doctrine, and ass-ruld
him, that if he persisted in working his brain nothing c--se,
prevent his malady from recurring, ere long, in redoubledelly
verity. He answered, " As for bidding me not work, rdjdont
might as well put the kettle on the fire and say, Sow' 'rni'
boil.' " To myself, when I ventured to address him in as'
lar strain, he replied, " I understand you, and I thank
from my heart, but 1 must tell you at once how it is witl!
