I decided to travel to the countryside to improve my health. I went to Lake Bigler with my friend, Wilson. We travelled in a comfortable Pioneer coach. At Lake Bigler we fished and sailed on the lake. We hunted① for hours in the woods. In the evening we danced. I enjoyed myself greatly. But, my illness got worse.

A tourist at Lake Bigler recommended a cold sheet② bath. I never refused③ a remedy. At midnight, when it was very cold, I undressed completely. I covered my body with a wet, ice-cold sheet. I kept the sheet on my body for a long time.

It was the worst experience of my life. The wet, ice-cold sheet made my blood freeze④ and made my heart stop! I thought it was time for me to die.

Never take a sheet-bath ¬NEVER! This is my advice to everyone.

My condition⑤ got a lot worse. Other people recommended other remedies. Not one of these remedies cured my cold.

After a week at Lake Bigler, I decided to go to Steamboat Springs. I thought that the hot baths there were good for my health. They were not.

While I was at Steamboat Springs, I tried several different remedies.

But I just got worse and worse. I was desperate. I finally decided to visit the city of San Francisco.

The day I arrived, a woman at the hotel told me to drink a bottle of whisky every twenty-four hours. A dear friend, who lived in San Francisco, recommended exactly the same thing: a bottle of whisky every twenty-four hours. That's two bottles of whisky.

Well, I am happy to say that this San Francisco remedy finally cured my cold!
