Mark TWAIN. (№ 305545)

One lady was melting day by day and finally reached the point where she has no help, no medication. I said that this week will put her on her feet. My words had encouraged and inspired her with hope, and she agreed in everything to obey me. Then I told her four days to quit Smoking, swear, drink and overeat, and promised that she would immediately recover. I have no doubt that it would be so, but the patient said that he could not quit drinking, Smoking and swearing, because never such were engaged.
That's a thing! She did not care in time to stock up on bad habits, she was not. Now, when they could come in handy, they were not. She had nothing to lean on. She was like a sinking ship without ballast, and she had nothing to throw overboard. Yes, some two-three minor bad habits, probably would have saved her, but she was a moral bankrupt. To acquire such habits at a young age stop her parents - ignorant people, though, and revolved in the best society; and now it was too late. What a pity, right; but how could I help? About such things you have to think from an early age, otherwise in old age you will have nothing to fight diseases.
