Medical Treatment


    Gives miscellaneous medical advice. For example, suggests that a visit to the workhouse will transfer a head-ache to the heart, that a large appetite can be removed by calculating one's outstanding bills and taxes, and that a dry skin condition can be remedied by 'running a mile in a great-coat'.
