Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Why Don't You Get Married: A Hodge-Podge of Sketches, a Few Wise, Many Witty and All Wholesome
It having come to my attention that divers persons suffer grievously from attacks of gloom, I have been at some pains to search out a specific wherewith this lamentable state of affairs might be corrected. And in the fulness of time my labours have borne fruit of a sort - of what uni versal value I know not, although it seemed to have some effect when I tried it on the dog.
My elixir is composed of about equal parts of cooling herbs and warming liquors, with, here and there, a dash of something a little more virulent, to induce peristalsis of the brain, as physic excites the sluggish organs of the body. In small doses it will be found harmless - perhaps even beneficial to those whose serious minds are too steadfastly set on their goal of high endeavour.
