THE HARDEST PART OF THE PRESCRIPTION
' Medicine won't help you any,' the doctor told his patient. ' What you need is a complete change of living. Get away to some quiet country place for a month. Go to bed early, eat more roast beef, drink plenty of good, rich milk, and smoke just one cigar a day.' A month later the patient walked into the doctor's office. He looked like a new man, and the doctor told him so. ' Yes, doctor, your advice certainly did the business. I went to bed early, and did all the other things you told me. But, say, that one cigar a day almost killed me at first. It's no joke starting to smoke at my time of life.'
