Up to this time this remedy had been the Doctor's secret, but I kept my eyes and ears so wide open during the whole operation that it was no longer his secret, and I have often been enabled, I hope, of doing much good by "letting the secret out." Circumstances made mr Viennicut's stay with us of short duration, and as my dear mother (had our offer to purchase the farm, which she considered a good one, she sold it, much to my regret, and against my current remenstrance*) and removed to the city.) When we left the farm for city life my dear little Douty? was returned to Uncle Charles, his original owner, and it was with a sad heart I parted with him and the beautiful homestead. *see remarks on page - 52, Vol II.
