COLE'S FUN DOCTOR
First series. One of the two funniest books in the world. By E.W.
Cole; _576 pp., cr. 8vo, cloth, 2/6_.
The mission of mirth is well understood, "Laugh and Grow Fat" is a
common proverb, and the healthiness of humour goes without saying.
This book, therefore, should find a place in every home library. It
is full of fun from beginning to end. Fun about babies; fun about bad
boys; fun about love, kissing, courting, proposing, flirting, marrying;
fun about clergymen, doctors, teachers; fun about lawyers, judges,
magistrates, jurymen, witnesses, thieves, vagabonds, etc., etc. It is
doubtful if any man living could read any page without bursting into a
hearty laugh.
COLE'S FUN DOCTOR
Second series. The other of the two funniest books in the world. By
E.W. Cole; _440 pp., crown 8vo, cloth, 2/6_.
Dr. Blues had an extensive practice until the Fun Doctor set up in
opposition, but now Fun Doctors are in requisition everywhere.
"The Second Series of _Cole's Fun Doctor_ is as good as the first.
It sparkles thoroughout, with laughs on every page, and will put
the glomiest curmudgeon into cheery spirits ... it is full of
fun."--_Evening Standard._
BALLADS OF BRAVE WOMEN. Records of the Heroic in Thought, Action and

grain, gilt (boxed), 3/- net; Persian yapp, gilt top (boxed), 4/- net._
