The matter of which it was composed was gas, of such an extraordinary and unimaginable gasiness that millions of cubic miles of it might easily be compressed into a common antibilious pill-box. The pill-box itself, in fact, is the net result of a prolonged secular condensation of myriads of such enormous cubes of this primæval matter.
It's puzzling. Are there any Generals?" "Men in hats and feathers?" "Of course not. No. I suppose they are the men who control the great public businesses. Who is that distinguished looking man?" "That? He's a most important officer. That is Morden. He is managing director of the Antibilious Pill Department.
But they seemed instinctively to feel that his case was something out of their reach, and with the exception of a weak suggestion from Jones, that he should try some of "them ar antibilious pills as he had in his box," no course of medical treatment was contemplated. Besides, was he not himself a doctor? and if he could do nothing, what should they be able to effect?
"Then tell me who these people are. I'm still very much in the dark about them. It's puzzling. Are there any Generals?" "Men in hats and feathers?" "Of course not. No. I suppose they are the men who control the great public businesses. Who is that distinguished looking man?" "That? He's a most important officer. That is Morden. He is managing director of the Antibilious Pill Company.
His name, if you wish to consult so triumphant a hygeist, is Cucumaria Pentactes: but he has many a stout cousin round the Scotch coast, who knows the antibilious panacea as well as he, and submits, among the northern fishermen, to the rather rude and undeserved name of sea-puddings; one of which grows in Shetland to the enormous length of three feet, rivalling there his huge congeners, who display their exquisite plumes on every tropic coral reef.
No creatures of their age had taken such quantities of Ching's lozenges, Godbold's elixir, or Dixon's antibilious pills. The consequence was, that the dangers, which had at first been imaginary, became real: these little victims of domestic medicine never had a day's health: they looked, and were, more dead than alive.
Choked with the box, the fallen knight held up his hands for quarter; but Timothy continued until the end of the vial, breaking out the top and bottom of the pasteboard receptacle, forty-and-eight of antibilious pills rolled in haste down Red-head's throat. Timothy then seized his basket, and amid the shouts of triumph, walked away.
I had for some time before my retirement been investing in consols, which my dear wife termed "the true antibilious stock," and I have ever since had good reason to be satisfied with that safe and tranquillising investment. All who value the health-conserving influence of the absence of financial worry will agree with me that this antibilious stock is about the best.
Or perhaps it would be best to wake him up and give him two antibilious pills. What do you think, Jack?" "I think," said I, with a yawn, "that you had best let him sleep, and go to sleep yourself. You can physic him in the morning if he needs it." So saying I stumbled off to my bedroom, and throwing myself upon the couch was soon in a dreamless slumber.
Really, Uncle Hutchinson, I don't see what there is in this little place to make such a fuss about." "Dorothy," replied Mr. Port, with much solemnity, "you evidently forget though I certainly have mentioned the fact to you repeatedly that the climate of this portion of Rhode Island is the most distinctively antibilious climate to be found upon the whole coast of North America.
