Title (alt.):
My dear friend, you really don't look very well this morning. I am not speaking to you as a doctor, but as a friend. I must insist on treating you.... better than I would treat myself. I am going to apply thirty leeches to your belly and if by tomorrow you have not improved, I'll apply another sixty.. Charivari
Description:
