Hon. David Paul Brown, of the Phiadel-
phia Bar, relates the following good story,
in late work of bis:
A quack had instituted a suit for medical
services against one of his neighbors, and
the suit being brought for the use of another,
became himself the witness. A Mr.. Will |
ams who was employed to defend the suit |
and expose the ignorance and worthlessness
IF the services rendered, subjected the doctor
10 the following cross-eyamination:
Counscl--Dld you treat the patient ac-
,ordng to the most approval rules Of surgery2 |
Wl,ness--By all means; certainly did.
Counsel-Did you decapitote him!
Wi,ness-UndoubtedIy did; that was
matter of course.
Counsel-Did you perform Cosarean OPP
grafton upon him!
Witness-Why of course his condition
equired 1t, and it was attended with great
ucCeSS.
Counsel-Dil you now, doctor, subject
us person to autopsy1
Wilness-Certainly; that was the last
emcdy ! adopted.
Counsel-We then, doctor, as you first
nj off the defendants head then dissected
l,m and he still survives it, have no more
0 ask, and if your claim will survive it,
luackery deserves to be immortal.
