Good people if you have the mumps,
Or ever get down with the dumps;
Or have bad cold or aching pains,
Or ever suffer with chilblains–
Don’t seek your doctor for advice,
And pay him some tremendous price,
But buy a drug that’s safe and sure–
In fact, get Blank’s Consumptive Cure.
(Edwin Carty Ranck)
