----What a devil of an apothecary! to take so much blood--give such a vile purge--puke--poultice--plaister--night-draught--clyster--blister? ----And why so many grains of calomel? santa Maria! and such a dose of opium! periclitating, pardi! the whole family of ye, from head to tail ----By my great-aunt _Dinah's_ old black velvet mask! I think there was no occasion for it.
Now this being a little bald about the chin, by frequently putting off and on, _before_ she was got with child by the coachman--not one of our family would wear it after. To cover the MASK afresh, was more than the mask was worth----and to wear a mask which was bald, or which could be half seen through, was as bad as having no mask at all----

- What a devil of an apothecary! to take so much blood - give such a vile purge - poultice - plaster - clyster - blister! And why so much calomel? and such a dose of opium! - By my great-aunt Dinah's old black velvet mask! I think there was no need for it.
Now this Mask being a little bald about the chin, by frequent putting off and on, before she was got with child by the coachman - not one of our family would wear it after. To mend the Mask, was more than the mask was worth - and to wear a bald mask was as bad as having no mask at all.
