the greedy iceman every day and snap
saucy fingers at the milk that does not
dare get sour or the beefsteak that dare
not fail.

the meantime keep the curds hot, and
after bathing, put them on as a poul
tice, wrap in flannel, and go to sleer

be perfect cure, even in aggravated
cases. This may be worth trying; Il
can certainly do no harm.
