And the Doctor Said
Working yourself to death aren't you Mm! Feel all tired out and can't think
clearly when you come home at night eh? Hm! Lie awake night composing let-
ter to write the next day 1 suppose? Mm-hm. Er wait a moment I'll write
you a prescription.
Two soothing Strauss waltzes after dinner.
One rousing military march to follow.
Miscellaneous music to taste.
Apply when symptoms appear.
What? Not I'm as sane as ever. This is the result of the latest scientific in-
vestigations of the effects of music on the system.
Of course you don't keep a brass band and an operatic troupe at home! Jump
into my car though and we'll ride over to the TRI-STATE TALKING MACHINE
COMPANY they carry the Victor-Victrolas and Columbia Grafonolas and the
largest selection of records in El Paso. I'm quite a talking-machine fan myself.
