PRECIS
A king who was feeble and ill because of idleness asked for medicine from a doctor. The doctor was wiser than the king and knew that it was not medicine but physical exercise that he needed. The doctor, therefore, brought the king two heavy clubs of a strange kind of wood and told him that those clubs held the medicine for his cure. He asked the king to grasp them by hands and swing them about till his hands became moist from the exercise. "The moisture", the doctor said, "would make the medicine act." He obeyed the doctor and each day he was seen in the open air at certain hours, working manfully with his magic clubs. His muscles grew strong, his health improved and he greatly praised the medicine of the clubs and the wisdom of the doctor.
