The best tonic

Chocolate and a story book. A most wonderful and effective tonic, tried and tested by yours truly.

Strongly recommended for people suffering from melancholia or any forms of depression. Take remedy in copious amounts, the more the better. Side effects include getting a sore throat from eating too much chocolate, and getting sore eyes from reading too much. This remedy is guranteed to take one's mind off the current state of affairs and has a more or less lasting effect if taken often, and provided that the chosen book is interesting enough to the reader. As one attempts to forget himself/herself in a parallel universe, one should devour large amounts of chocolate to aid oneself in the realisation of this fantasy.



WHAT???


It works!


Most of the time, anyway. :)
