"You may take sarza to open the liver; 

 steel to open the spleen ; flowers of sulphur for 

 the lungs ; castoreum for the brain ; but no re- 

 ceipt openeth the heart but a true friend, to 

 ■whom you may impart griefs, joys, fears, hopes, 

 suspicions, counsels and whatsoever lieth upon 

 the heart to oppress it, in a kind of civil shrift 

 or confession." 



— Bacon.
