Our doctor is wise old lad, and oft he says to me-
"The whole blamed world isfee ling bad, as sckly as
can be- because the people gaoots who to
want disease; they Will not live upon the fruits that
grow upon the trees. The wholesome turnip they ira
duce. they by at beets and prunes they will look
onion juice, pour it in with spoons They all
have their roa5ts and steaks and vctuals fried in
grease; and their forms filed with aches. which
aches destroy their peace. You've eaten many cows
my FRIEND the good old doc declares, and pigs and
chickens without end. and geese and Belgian harcs
And your bones full of lime, you wreck
doubt, and you grooming half the time with
rheumatic and govt. If you had eaten pears and plums
and rice and lemon peel you would not have scorbutc
gums, or anthrax in your heel Right gladly would
now explain the evil of your way, but must go and
see Bill Blaine who hast he cramps today He ate too
many aprcots the contents of a can, and now bob

 And "Webster''-isn't it funny that all these magicians and seers and clairvoysnts and things have just one name? Let's see; there's "Thurston' and Clayton" and Alexander" and webstera-why, you'd never any more think of putting handle to their names, Mister or Col oner' or a Judge" or anything. any more than you'd think of putting a handle to a Mary Gardens name.
 With the weird strains of Oriental music from the big organ ripping in the distance as it were, "Nebster' clad in Oriental garb, be-turbaned and be- decked, his two brown eyed. swarthy skinned feminine attendants in bizarre costumes, the performance be egins-numbers of eager people in the vast audience sitting visibly fof ward in their seats, straining their ears and eyes to hear and see what the wizard" is about to say.
