and he said he should think it was
enough to cut a f%eller's liver up in
slices, but it was good, and then
| had a peculiar feeling in my liver
and my chum said his liver felt
better after he took a swaller, and
so | took a swaller, and it was the
offulest liver remedy | ever tasted.
1t scorched my throat just like the
dephtheria, but it beats diphtheria,
or sore throat, all to pices, and my
chum and me LATED, we was so
tickled. Did you ever take liver
medicinel You know how it
makes you feel as if your liver Lad
got on top of your lights, and like
you wanted to jump and holler.
Well sir, honost that liver medi-
cine made me dance a jig on the
viaduct bridge, and an old soldier
from the soldiers home camealong
and asked us what was the matter,
and we told him about our @Iivers,
and the liver medicine, and show
ed him the bottle and he said he
sposed he had the worst liver in
the world, and said the doctors at
the home couldn't cure him. Its
a mean boy that won't help an old
man cure his liver, 50 | told him
to try Pas liver remedy, and he
took a regular COW swaller, and
said, heres to your liver, boys
He must have a liver bigger nor a
cows and / guess it is better now.
Then my liver begun to feel
Gurus again and my chum said his
liver was getting torpid some more
and wegot generous, and gave all
our nuts away to some boys. Say,
does liver medicine make a teller
give away all he has gotl We
kept taking medicine every five
blocks, and we locked arms and
went down a back street and sung,
90 it is a glorious thing to be a
pirut king and when we got home
my head felt bigger nor a wash-tub
and l thought p'raps my liver had
gone to my head, and Pa came to
the door with his face tied up in
in towels, and some yellow stuff on
the towels that smelled like anarahy
and | slapped him on the shoulder
and shouted Hello, Gov. How's
your liver, and gave him the bottle
and it was empty, and he asked
me if we had been drinking that
medicine and he said was ruined,
and L told him he could get some
more down to the saloon. and he
took hold Of my collar and | lam
med him in the ear, and he bounc-
ed me up stairs, and then | turned
pale and had cramps, and / didn't
remember any more till | woke up
and then the doctor was over me,
and Pa and Ma looked scared, and
the Doc. had a tin thing like you
draw water out Of country cistern
only smaller, and said if it hadn't
been for the stomach pump she
wouldn't have any little boy, and
| looked at the knobs on PAS face
and LATED and asked Pa if he got
into the hornets, too, Then the
Doc. LATED, and Ma cried and Pa
swore, and | groaned, and got sick
again, and then they let me go to
sleep again, andthis morning | had
the %offulest headache, and Pas face
looked like he had fell on Il picket
fence. When | got out | went to
my chum's house to see ifthey had
got him pumped out, and his ma
drove me out with a broom, and
she says | will ruin every boy in
the neighborhood. Pa says | was
drunk. l asked him how | could
be drunk Just taking medicine for
my liver, and he SAID to go % the
devil and | came over here. Say,
give me a lemon to settle my
stomach.
