Something in a Bottle

By Florence W. Whitney

For every ache and every pain, For every ill of toe or brain, So many folks have the belief That they will surely find relief From something in a bottle.
Some folks want something they can smell, Or something they can “rub in well,” While some prefer to taste the stuff, And never seem to get enough Of something in a bottle.
No matter if they always fail To find relief, you’ll see them hail With great delight some new affair, Some fake to swallow, smell, or wear— Or something in a bottle.
If folks would quit these things, and pause Just long enough to find the cause Of all their ills, they soon would learn How they’d been fooled, and then they’d turn From something in a bottle.
Remove the cause of all your pain; ’Tis thus good health you can obtain. Read Life and Health, and give close heed, And then you’ll have no further need For something in a bottle.
FLORENCE W. WHITNEY.
