The road of woe, where bleak winds blow, brings him no anxious qualms; he grins at those who pamt their toes with salves and noxiouf balms. The cripple s crutch can't faze him much, when he is well and strong; he will not think that on the blink he may be, ere so long. Strong is the strife, when daily life goes on without an ill ; one does not pine for anodyne, a powder or a pill. carefree guy, forsooth, was I, until four days ago ; without an ache to freeze or bake, I chased the flitting dough. But all too soon my lightsome tune backslid into a wail ; some evil breeze caused me to sneeze the sneeze camped on my trail. I have the grippe, or else the pip, or maybe just the heaves; at any rate my present state no jov of comfort leaves.

Some kindly -ent, with good intent, a plaster must advise; I put on six. and now my fix is causing me surprise.
