Responds to an advertisement for a book by a University of Cambridge clergyman on curing nervous and mental complaints 'from benevolence rather than gain'. Mr Punch imagines himself as the author of the work and sketches its chapters. Each chapter puffs his remedy, advertises Mr Punch's fee, but omits the nature of the remedy. |
