Took It for a Poultice.
Mr. Coddles was suffering from that rundown feeling. In fact he might have sat as a model for the artist who draws those pictures every one of which is alleged to tell a story. A bright idea came to him—namely, that tie should visit some friends in Bradford, for he knew that there was no cure quite equal to Yorkshire hosthem when he caught cold and had to take to bed.
