    Take a little rum
    The less you take the better
    Pour it in the lakes
    Of Wener or of Wetter.
    Dip a spoonful out
    And mind you don't get groggy,
    Pour it in the lake
    Of Winnipissiogie.
    Stir the mixture well
    Lest it prove inferior,
    Then put half a drop
    Into Lake Superior.
    Every other day
    Take a drop in water,
    You'll be better soon
    Or at least you oughter.

Even as a Surgeon, minding off to cut
Some cureless limb, before in use he put
His violent Engins on the vicious member,
Bringeth his Patient in a senseless slumber,
And grief-less then (guided by use and art),
To save the whole, sawes off th' infected part.

So liv'd our sires, ere doctors learn'd to kill,

You behold in me
Only a travelling Physician;
One of the few who have a mission
To cure incurable diseases,
Or those that are called so.
