try little each day as a tonic, and not
wishing to stop at the various places

first taken to my room could scarcely
lift it; now I can carry it with the
greatest ease.

dish, and being somewhat of a wag,

Thank the Lord there's no more of u.s.
1t is needless to say, that Dick was
never afterward called upon to say
grace at that table.
