' The Merry Heart Doeth Good Like a Medicine Going about your work with a cheerful step and a smile, taking along a roomy, sympathetic heart. It was very like Dr. John B. Deaver, the great surgeon, to tell this: A young wife, long inbed, was fast drifting down in weakness, as she could not Swallow anything, apparently dying from an Inflammation of the throat, an inaccessible abscess stopping the way. Her friends were Standing around her bed in misery and helplessness. "Try her wi' a compliment," said her husband, in a not uncomic despair, wh6 knew his wife hrid a sense of humor as well as himself. As physiologists know, there is sometimes a mental tickling which is beyond and above control. The patient began to laugh, and she laughed with her whole body and soul and burst the abscess and got well. A merry heart is a self-player of sweet music in homes as well as hospitals.
