Life's too serious

A lawyer sees an ad in the local paper for a new doctor's clinic. The ad reads "We provide treatment for $20! If you're not cured, we'll give you $100 back!" The lawyer sees an opportunity, as they do, and heads down to the clinic.
"What brings you here today?" asks the doctor.
"I've lost my sense of taste," says the lawyer.
"Nurse, bring the medicine from box no. 14 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
The nurse does so and the lawyer spits it out immediately. "This is kerosene!" the lawyer hollers.
"Congratulations, your sense of taste has been restored! That'll be $20 please," grins the doctor.
The irritated lawyers returns several says later. "Doctor," says the lawyer, "I've lost my memory. I can't recall anything."
"Hmmm," ponders the doctor. "Nurse, bring me the medicine from box no. 14 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
"No way!" shouts the lawyer, "that's just more kerosene!"
"Congratulations, your memory has been restored! That'll be $20 please," grins the doctor.
Furious, the lawyer returns a few days later. "Doctor, my eyesight has become very weak and I cannot see at all."
"Oh dear," says the doctor, "I'm not sure I can do much to help you. Here is your $100."
"Wait a minute," says the lawyer, "this is only $20!"
"Congratulations, your eyesight has been restored! That'll be $20 please."
