Divine Draughts



                                            By John Robert Howell





                               Fish or cut bait,
                                          So the saying goes.

                                        
                                Patent pills and puissant prayer
                                         Do not unite in health.


                                Choose your medicine with care--
                                         From the pharmacy or one Mind.


                                The first only tampers with the evidence;
                                        The second absolves the crime.
