A Doctors Life.

The following are some of the sweets Of
Doctors life: II he visits few Of tis GUS
toners when they are well, it is to get his
dinner; if he don't do so, it is because he
cares more about the fleece than the fock.
lfhe goes TO church regularly, it is because
he has nothing else to do; if he don't 90,
it is because he has no respect for the Sab.
bath or religion. II he speaks to a poor
person. he keeps bad company; if he passes
them by, lac is better than other folks. IL
he has good carriage, he is extravaganza;
II he uses the poor one on the score Of
economy, he is deficient in necessary pride.
IL lac makes parties. it is to soft soap the
people to get their money; If he don't make
them, he is afraid Of cent IL his horse
is TAT, it is because he has nothing to do;
il he is lean, it is because he isa't taken
care of. If he drives fast, it is to make
people think somebody is very sick; if he
drives slow, he has no interest in the well
fare of his patients. If he dresses neat, he
is proud; if he does not, he is wanting ia
self respect If he works On the land, he
Is fit for nothing but farmer; ii he don't
work, it is because he is too lazy TO do any
thing IL he talks much, "we don't want
n doctor to tell everything he knows" if
he don't talk, I'VE like TO see doctor So
| cial." II he says Anything about politics,
lie had better let it alone; il he don't say
anything about it. Eve like to see man
show his colors." lfhe visits his patients
every day, it is TO run up bill; if ho don't,
it is unjustiiiable negligence. II he says
anything about religion, he is a hypocri;e,
If he don't, he is an infdel II he uses
any of the popular remedies OF the day. it
is to cater 10 the whims and prejndiss Of
the people TO fill his pockets il he don't
use them, it is from professional selfShness,
Ii he is in the habit of having counsel oi-
ten, it is because he knows nothing; il he
objects to having it on the ground that he
understands his own business, he is afraid
Of exposing his ignorance to his superiors.
IL he gets pay for one half Of his services,
he has the reputation of being great
manager. Who wouldn't be an NJ. ID,
