crimson chair and erects his stalwart
form in line perpendicular to the

begs leave to present Mr.. Visitor to

majestically, the victim attempts to

informs the Professor that his friend,
the visitor, had called to consult him
in regard to a matter of health.
The Professor bows again and says

presents his prescription to the clerk,
who compounds the same in pint

visitor hands over the V and departs
with his friend to the bath-house
spoken of. Here the solicitor pre-

informs him that the visitor desires a

the visitor and says: "Our terms are
