Jones is sick and a friend tells him he should go to a sanitarium and recommends Dr. Crow's Retreat. Accordingly Jones bids his wife good-bye and is off for his health, arrives and is received by Dr. Crow who promises great things. He is assured that he is in a very serious condition and must diet and train down, is shown his room, is disguised and writes his wife as follows: "Dr. Crow's Bug House. Dear Wife, This is no place for me; this is a dippy factory. I tried to leave but they won't let me out. I am to diet and train down; I can see my finish now. Farewell, Willie." Watching his chance, he makes his escape. Arriving at the quiet, peaceful home of the Joneses, he writes the Doctor the following touching testimonial: "Dear Dr. Crow, Your institution is a wonderful benefit to mankind. If ever I have an enemy who is seeking health, I will take great pleasure in recommending him to try your nut college. Affectionately, Jones."
