Pueblo, with the stump of its one memorable tree, or a slice of that stump turned up on end to make room for a new railway-station, that could just as well have been built a few feet farther on, and staring at you, with a full broadside of patent-medicine placards trying to cover its nakedness.
Likewise, in the preparation of the Molineux case it became important to demonstrate that the accused had sent a letter under an assumed name ordering certain remedies. As a result, one of the employees of the patent-medicine company spent several months going over their old mail orders and comparing them with a certain sample, until at last the letter was unearthed.
It was a welcome sight, for it meant an easy meeting of the pay-roll for that week and two succeeding weeks. But the check was from a manufacturing patent-medicine company. Without a moment's hesitation, Mr. Curtis slipped it back into the envelope, saying: "Of course, that we can't take."
Especially should parents and teachers remember that there is absolutely no scientific basis for supposing that great diffidence, indigestion, pimples on the face, boys' lack of interest in girls, and numerous other popular "signs," are indications of the masturbation habit. Like the symptoms in patent-medicine advertising, the above "signs" are so general that they are sure to fit some cases.
Miss a shot and then spend the rest of the evenin' tellin' how it happened." "I don't think I should care to play it that way," said Ralph, laughing. "Well, it has its good p'ints. Kind of all-round exercise; develops the lungs and strengthens the muscles, as the patent-medicine almanac says. Parker played it considerable."

"Has he joined some patent-medicine troupe?" "Not a bit," replied Eskew. "He went East to college last fall." "Do they MAKE the boys wear them clothes?" persisted Bradbury. "Is it some kind of uniform?" "I don't care what it is," said Jonas Tabor. "If I was Henry Louden I wouldn't let him wear 'em around here." "Oh, you wouldn't, wouldn't you, Jonas?" Mr. Arp employed the accents of sarcasm.
Sometimes they try to make love to me and then steal back the money they have given me. That's the hard part, the lying and the pretence. All day I write the same lies over and over for the patent-medicine men and then at night I listen to these others lying to me." She stopped talking and leaning over put her cheek down on her hand and sat looking into the fire.
