DR.. Goodcheer's
Remedy

Feel all out of kilter, do you
Nothing goes to suit you quite
Skies seem sort of dark and clouded,
Though the day is fair and bright?
Eyes affected, fail to notice
Beauty spread on every hand?
Hearing so impaired you're missing
Songs of promise, sweet and grand?
No your case is not uncommon
IT'S popular distress;
Though it's not at all contagious
Thousands have it more or less.
But it yields to simple treatment,
And is easy quite to cure;
If you follow my directions,
Quick recovery is sure.
Take. bit of cheerful thinking,
Add portion of content,
And with both let glad endeavor,
Mixed with earnestness be blent;
These with care and skill compounded.
Will produce magic oil
That is bound to cure if taken
With lot of honest toll.
If your heart is dull and heavy;
If your hope is pale with doubt;
Try this wondrous Oil of Promise,
For twill drive the evil out.
Who will mix it? Not the druggist
From the bottles on his shelf;
The ingredients required
You must find within yourself.
