A Weak Woman
A LOVING husband once waited on a physician to request him to prescribe
for his wife's eyes, which were very sore. Let her wash them, said the
doctor, every morning with a small glass of brandy. A few weeks after,
the doctor chanced to meet the husband. Well, my friend, has your wife
followed my advice?--She has done everything in her power to do it,
doctor; said the spouse, but she never could get the glass higher
than her mouth.
