Chapter III
"A bad case of _cancer_," was the complacent reply. "Good!" returned the doctor; "I'll _cure_ you, my friend." So saying, he conducted his facetious patient into the kitchen, and potted him in pickle. It cured him--of practical jocularity. May the fable heal _you_, if you are afflicted with that form of evil.
