"There are no very alarming symptoms at present, my dear madam," was the doctor's assurance to Blanche's mother; "and a good long sea-voyage, say out to Australia and back, will be more beneficial than a whole pharmacopoeia of drugs."
But you've got me to reckon with, and the British Pharmacopoeia. When did you eat last? 'Day before yesterday. 'All right, young man; I'll fettle you, and if you think you're going to slip your cable, you're mightily in error. 'Well, said Paul, 'it doesn't matter to me one way or the other.
