We shall find in the same page the name of the disease and the remedy. Thus: chapped hands glycerine; cold squills; lumbago mustard-plasters; nervous excitement valerian; sleeplessness Dover's powders. This may be very well for slight ailments, but we have attended more funerals of people who were their own doctor than obsequies of any other sort.
Squills have his brandy and water, and all the world be comfortable, each in his own way. You see, my dear," added my father kindly, as, after settling himself into his slippers, he detained Blanche's hand in his own, "you see, my dear, every house has its Camarina.
"Besides," said Squills, "it is easy to see, from the phrenological development of the organs in those several heads which Pisistratus has allowed us to examine, that we have seen no creations of mere fiction, but living persons, whose true history has set in movement their various bumps of Amativeness, Constructiveness, Acquisitiveness, Idealty, Wonder, Comparison, etc.
I remember when the bank in which Squills had incautiously left L1000 broke, one remarkably healthy year, that he became a great alarmist, and said that the country was on the verge of ruin; whereas you see now, when, thanks to a long succession of sickly seasons, he has a surplus capital to risk in the Great Western, he is firmly persuaded that England was never in so prosperous a condition."
"Am I to be left here in my old age, not a rational soul to speak to, and no other place in the village where there's a drop of decent punch to be had? 'A plague on both your houses! as the chap said at the theatre the other night." "There's room for a doctor in our neighborhood, Mr. Squills," said the Captain.

One man carries across it a freightage of ingots, another may fish there for herrings. Who can exhaust the sea, who say to Intellect, 'The deeps of philosophy are preoccupied'?" "Admirable!" cried Squills.
Finally, my father yielded, and Squills; in high spirits, declared that he would go to supper with me, to see that I ate nothing that would tend to discredit his reliance on my system. Leaving my mother still with her Austin, the good surgeon then took my arm, and as soon as we were in the next room, shut the door carefully, wiped his forehead, and said: "I think we have saved him!"
