"The public will buy anything, if you advertise it enough." "I suppose they will," said Sypher. "Even Jebusa Jones's Cuticle Remedy." Shuttleworth started and put on his spectacles. "Why shouldn't they buy the Remedy, after all?" "You ask me that?" said Sypher. All through the interview he had not shifted his position. He sat fixed like a florid ghost.
What are the Powers of Darkness in your case, Sir Red Cross Knight?" "Jebusa Jones's Cuticle Remedy," said Sypher savagely. That was Clem Sypher's Dragon Jebusa Jones's Cuticle Remedy. He drew so vivid a picture of its foul iniquity that Zora was convinced that the earth had never harbored so scaly a horror. Of all Powers of Evil in the universe it was the most devastating.
He touches the gland, and finds the skin sane and sound, but under the cuticle there lies a small lump like a pistol-bullet, that moves as he pushes it. Oh! but is this for all certainty, is this the sentence of death? Feel the gland of the other arm; there is not the same lump exactly, yet something a little like it: have not some people glands naturally enlarged?—would to Heaven he were one!
Hence they must necessarily have supposed, that, as the true skin was in every respect the same in all human subjects, however various their external hue, so the seat of colour must have existed in the Cuticle, or upper surface.
"I can't believe it," said Zora, half hurt, half resentful. "The woman's eyes were full of tears." "It's true," said her champion. "And the best of it is that the man is actually an accredited agent of Jebusa Jones's Cuticle Remedy." He stood, his hands on his broad hips, regarding her with the piercing eyes of a man who is imparting an incredible but all-important piece of information.
The withered, shrunken, one-eyed, toothless, hairless Cuticle; with a trunk half dead a memento mori to behold!
I have known some rascals say, they were sorry they had not been lucky enough to be wounded, as they considered a punctured cuticle nothing to set against the magnificent douceur of four or five rupees. One impetuous scamp, being told not to go in front of the line during a beat near Burgamma, replied to the warning caution of his jemadar, 'Oh never mind, if get shot I will get backsheesh.
The true skin is richly supplied with blood-vessels and nerves, as when cut it bleeds freely, and is very sensitive. The surface of the true skin is thrown into a series of minute elevations called the papillæ, upon which the outer skin is moulded. The papillæ are large and numerous in sensitive places, as the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, and the fingers. The Epidermis, or Cuticle.
I do not know whether it was the wide roll of the ship, as felt in that giddy perch, that occasioned it, but I always got sea-sick after taking medicine and going aloft with it. Seldom or never did it do me any lasting good. Now the Surgeon's steward was only a subordinate of Surgeon Cuticle himself, who lived in the ward-room among the Lieutenants, Sailing-master, Chaplain, and Purser.
When the leaves have been browsed, the stem next loses its cuticle, thanks to the nibbling of the grub, and is reduced to a ragged distaff. The flowers even, which have opened by now, are not spared: their beautiful ivory chalices are changed into latrines. The perpetrator of the misdeed embarks on his career of defilement early.
