We'll, to begin with, / heartily agree

what IS worse, l felt like one. But to eN-
PLAIN the riddle must first indulge in
little retrospect.
For years 1 had allowed myself to be
experin:ented with by physicians of all
schools. Tor real or imaginary ailments:
and the subtle and engaging charm OF
patent medicine advertisements was not
lost upon me. l tried them all; or If,
perchance L missed one il was not
through lack of effort to possess it.
IheSe experiences, together with the
normal process of decay and the inroads
of inevitable natural diseases, brought me

II has not interfered in the slightest with
the conduct of my business. On the other
