Ills prestrip tion reads something like this: “If you keep the corners of your mouth turned up, you can’t feel blue.” The direo- tlons for taking are, "Smile, keep oo smiling, don't stop smiling.” It sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? Well, just try turning up the corners of your mouth, regardless of your mood, and see how It makes you feel. Then draw the cor ners of your mouth down and note the effect, and you will be williug to de clare “there’s something iu it.’’ The doctor treats his nervous pa- tleuts to medicine when necessary, but when the case is one of pure mol ancholy. without bodily ill. he simply recommends the smile cure, lie h:i^ the patient remain in his office ana smile. If it isn’t the genuine article, it must at least be an upward curvature of the corners of the mouth, aud the better feelings follow inevitably. The treatments are followed up regularly, and the patients all testify to their good effect. It takes considerable per suasion to induce some of them to ap ply the cure, and of course the greater number of patients are women, for when a man is blue he is bound to be blue in spite of everything, but a wom an Is more easily persuaded to try to tiiul a cure. The doctor declares that if persons will only draw down the corners of their mouths and use sufficient will power they can actually shed teats Un the other baud, ! f they will persist ently keep the corners of the mouth turned up pleasant thoughts will chase away the gloomy forebodings. Ilia discovery grew out of an experience iu his own home. Ilis wife was of a nerv ous and rather morbid temperament, and when in a despondent mood hc- would ask her to “smile a little” until the saying came to be a household Joke. But it brought about good re sults. and then came the inspiration to try the same cure on others.
