"It seems," he commented, "that a doctor has to leave a prescription as other men leave cards just as a polite reminder of the call." "What shall I do with them?" "Dump 'em all out I don't care. Or, wait a minute; there's no rush." He went back to Allison. "I see you've got quite a drug store here. Are you particularly attached to any special concoction?" "Indeed I'm not.
The child did not appear to be human, but a concoction of half a dozen diminutive bestialities, and as my friend gazed at it, too fascinated for the moment to tear himself away, it smiled up at him with the hungry, leering smile of vampirism and idiocy. So much for vampires in the country and in crowded cities, but, as I have already remarked, they are ubiquitous.
However, you are now about to have a most marvellous concoction called 'Russian Salad. I was a little uncertain as to how it would turn out, so I thought I'd try it tonight, as I knew my guests would be both good-natured and hungry." "That's a combination of virtues that don't always go together," said Mr. Fairfield. "I hope the young people appreciate the compliment.
"Do you good," he insinuated, pushing the bottle gently over. "No, thank you," reiterated Kirkwood shortly, a little annoyed. Stryker seized his own glass, poured out a strong man's dose of the fiery concoction, gulped it down, and sighed. "Please," he implored, "Please don't let me hinterrupt;" and filled his pipe, pretending a pensive detachment from his company.
She had the right of inflicting punishment up to six months' imprisonment, but often, instead of administering the law, she administered justice by giving the prisoner a blow on the side of the head! The oath taken was usually the heathen mbiam. For this were needed a skull and a vile concoction in a bottle, that was kept outside the Court House on account of the smell.
Yet this conviction only made them the more ready to listen to any story, grasp at any straw, that lent an atom of weight to the case against him. Dinner had brought no comfort to either, and Petty's preposterous story, swallowed whole by the chief while still bristling with the nervous strain of the concoction of that telegram of explanation, had further upset his digestive powers.
For a female child, let the woman lie on her left side, strongly fancying a female in the time of procreation, drinking the decoction of female mercury four days from the first day of purgation; the male mercury having the like operation in case of a male; for this concoction purges the right and left side of the womb, opens the receptacles, and makes way for the seminary of generation.
I had been introduced to a Doctor Funk by Count Polonsky, who told me it was made of a portion of absinthe, a dash of grenadine, a syrup of the pomegranate fruit, the juice of two limes, and half a pint of siphon water. Dr. Funk of Samoa, who had been a physician to Robert Louis Stevenson, had left the receipt for the concoction when he was a guest of the club.
"And here's where ye join us," said several. "No, I don't care about it," said Jim. "Ye ain't promise bound now, are ye?" "No," replied Jim, "but " "Make him a sweet one with syrup and just a spoonful of the crather to take the curse off." Refusing, protesting, half ashamed of his hesitation, Jim downed at a gulp a fruity concoction, much to the delight of the assemblage.
There were a few variations, it is true; but even here there was a close analogy, plants indigenous to America being substituted for cognate productions, the growth of Europe. Then there was another difference in the mode of preparation, Aunt Keziah's nostrum being a concoction, whereas the old manuscript gave a process of distillation.
