Chapter Seven: The Remedies

One day I met a woman who appeared to be one hundred and fifty years old. She came from a deserted① part of the Far West, where there were no doctors. She had years of experience helping sick people. She prepared a special mixture of molasses②, aquafortis③, oils and other strange drugs. She advised me to drink a glass of this mixture every fifteen minutes.

I only drank one glass of the mixture. It was enough to make me crazy. I became extremely mean④ and dangerous. My mind was full of wild thoughts. My behaviour was horrible. I was proud of being bad!

After a few days, the effect of the horrible mixture passed. I felt a lot worse⑤. My cold passed from my head to my lungs⑥. I coughed every moment of the day and of the night. It was impossible to sleep. The sound of my voice frightened me.

I got worse every day. An old friend recommended gin. I drank it. Then I drank gin with molasses. Finally, I added onions.

So I had gin, molasses and onions. The smell of my breath⑦ was terrible.
