resolution mixed with the oil of
Coincidence; infuse it into a large
spoonful OF salts Of patience, distil very
carefully a composing plant called
other wooe,' which You will find in
every part of the garden of life, growing
under the broad leaves OF disguise, add
a small quantity, and it will greatly
assist the salts Of patience in their oper-
alton. Gather a handful OF the blossom
Of hope, then sweeten them properly
with the balm of prudence; and if you
can get any of the seeds of true friend
ship, you will have the most valuable
medicine that can be administered. Be
careful to get the seeds of true friend
ship, as there is a seed very much like it
called self-interest, which will spoil the
whole composition. Make the ingredi-
ents into pills and take one night and
morning, and the cure will be effected.
