                        Doc's Chain Lightning



                             High on his wagon,
                             over rocky prairie trails
                             from Dauphin to Dogtown,
                             Doc peddled his wares.

                             "Doc's Chain Lightning
                             will make men strong
                             and women good looking.
                             You and your animals
                             can feel young and spry again.

                             "Rare roots, herbs and barks
                             for this tonic and elixer
                             (a veritable fountain of youth)
                             are gathered deep in the jungles
                             of Mexico and South America.

                             "Do you have aches?
                             Do you have pains?
                             Do you have gout?
                             Have you spent
                             too many hours
                             in the red light district?

                             "What you need is
                             Doc's "Chain Lightning"
                             (also cures spavin in horses).
                             "Ordinarily sold
                             for twenty dollars a bottle
                             here at the Dogtown Fair
                             you may acquire it for
                             not ten, not five,
                             but for the low,
                             low price
                             of two dollars.

                             "Now, step right up,
                             Ladies and Gentlemen,
                             be the first to experience
                             the marvelous, medicinal effects
                             of "Doc's Chain Lightning".
                             Today only,
                             we'll even give you
                             a free bottle for your animals."
