Heroic Treatment For A Cold

"You have taken a severe cold," said the old family doctor, "and it seems to have settled in your throat." "Yes, doctor, you see I can hardly speak," said the patiënt, a vivacious, bright eyed young woman. "Can you stand heroic treatment, do you think?" asked the doctor. 'Try me!" "Are you sure?" "Yes, anything you like - medicine, mustiird piasters, electricity, anything!" said she in a breath. "And you want to get back your voice?" "Yes!" "It's heroic treatment, mind you." "AU right; what is it?" 'You mustn't talk at all for two days."
