The Wrong Medicine.

Not long ago the husband was taken ill and his wife rummaged around to find some medicine in the house. Finally she came across a box of little black pills. There was no writing on the coyer of the box to tell what they were, but as they resembled a certain liver pill the wife concluded they must be the required thing.
