consult a surgical friend for corrobora-

man body (although the gall bladder is)
but is a secretion of the liver which in
'littalthy men (like ourselves)• performs
a useful function. Shakespeare, who
was a poet and not a surgeon, . wrote
" A slave whose gall coins slander's like
a mint." He meant men like you

put a window into the soul of that
