Joe Lindsay is said by Lum Boger to be the largest manufacturer of / prevarications in Eatonville; Brazzle (late owner of the world's / leanest and meanest mule) contends that his business is the largest in / the state and his wife holds that he is the biggest liar in the world.
_Exhibit A_ -- He claims that while he was in Orlando one day he saw / a doctor cut open a woman, remove everything -- liver, lights and heart / included -- clean each of them separately; the doctor then washed out the / empty woman, dried her out neatly with a towel and replaced the organs / so expertly that she was up and about her work in a couple of weeks.
