our little goat to healthY'
The doctor looked him over and then
replied, HE merely needs exercise and
plenty of it."
The next day the doctor came back
to see how his patient was getting

me to exercise, and am crying for the
exercise that it furnishes me. Do you
think that I'll soon be well, STRIP

will cure you except a good, sound
thrashing."
