Two Cures For Ague
Jests Home
BISHOP BLOMFIELD, when presiding over the diocese of London, had
occasion to call the attention of the Essex incumbents to the necessity
of residing in their parishes; and he reminded them that curates were,
after all, of the same flesh and blood as rectors, and that the
residence which was possible for the one, could not be quite impossible
for the other. Besides, added he, there are two well-known
preservatives against ague; the one is, a good deal of care and a
little port wine; the other, a little care and a good deal of port
wine. I prefer the former; but if any of the clergy prefer the
latter, it is at all events a remedy which incumbents can afford
better than curates.
