Now, angina pictoris or brist-pang is not curable through the lungs, nor the stomick, nor the liver, nor the stays, nor the saucepan, as the bunglintinkerindox of the schools pretind, but only through that mighty mainspring the Brain; and instid of going meandering to the Brain round by the stomick, and so giving the wumman lots o' time to die first, which is the scholastic practice, I wint at the Brain direct, took a puff o' chlorofm put m' arm round her neck, laid her back in a chair she didn't struggle, for, when this disorrder grips ye, ye cant move hand nor foot and had my lady into the land of Nod in half a minute; thin off t' her husband; so here's th' Healer between two stools spare the whipcord, spoil the knacker! it would be a good joke if I was to lose both pashints for want of a little unbeequity, wouldn't it Lash the lazy vagabin!
