"The Ajax Invigorator made a new man of me," continued the legend.

There were further details which seemed negligible to the philanthropist, because the pictured hero of the invigorator already suggested Judge Penniman, the ever-ailing father of Winona.

The likeness was not wholly fanciful.

True, the judge was not so abject as the first figure, but then he was not so obtrusively vigorous as the second.
"A bottle of that," said Wilbur, and pointed to the card.
The druggist thrust out a bottle already wrapped in a printed cover, and the price, as became a cut-rate pharmacy, proved to be ninety-eight cents.
A wish was now expressed that the advertising placard might also be taken in order that Judge Penniman might see just what sort of new man the invigorator would make of him.

But this proved impracticable; the placard must remain where it stood for the behoof of other invalids.
