dear Abernethy, will you do me the
Kindness to put seton on this poor fellows
neck! Yours, sincerely, -"

Lear hoernethy, will you do me the
kindness to put seton on this poor fellows
neckf Yours, sincerely, -"
The man, who was accustomed and en-
couraged to indulge in considerable free
dom of speech with his masters friends.
not only delivered the note to Abernetby,
but added, in an explanatory and confid.
ing tone:
You see, sir, | don't get better, and as
master thinks l ought to have seton in
my neck, l should be thankful if you'p
put 1T in for me-" 1t is not at all improb.
able that Abernethy resented the directiops
OF master and man. Any how he inoui-
red into the invald's case, and then taking
out his needles did as be was requested.
The operation was attended with little
pain, and the man howled as only cow
ard can howl, under the temporary inoou.
veniance' ooh ! Lor' bless you Oh,
have mercy on me Yarra-yarra -yar-
ra! Oh, doctor-doctor-you'l kill me I"
In an mother minute the surbeon's work
was accomplished, and the accute pain
having passed away the man recovered his
self-possession and impudence.
"Oh, well, sir, 1 do hope, that it's done,
it'll do me good. do hope that"
"But it won't do you bit of good"
"What, sir, no good 7" cried the fellow.
"No more good" replide Abernethy,
than if had spat upon it."
"Thcn sir-why-oh, yarr here's the
pain again|*hy did you do it! :"
"ComfOund you, man." answered the
surgeon testly,"Why did do it?-Why,
didnt you ask me to put seton IN your
neck?
Of course the surgical treatment en-.
ployed by Abernethy in this case was the
right one; but he was SO nettled with tho
fel ow's impudence and unmanly lamenta.
tions, that he could not forbear playing of
upon him barbarous jest.
If for this outbreak of vndictive humor
the reader is inclined to call Abernethy a
savage, let his git be 50L, DR.. Wilson of
Bath sent present of that sum to an in.
digent clergyman, against whom he had
come in the course Of practice. The gen.
tlomen who had engaged to convey the gift
to the unfortunate priest said ,"Wel', th.n, =,
I'll take the money to him tomorrow"
"Oh, my dear sir" said the doctor, "take
it to him tonight. Only think of the i'm.
portance to sick man of one good nights
rest"

Anecdotes of DR.. Abernethy
Fiom "Jefersons Book about Doctors" lately publish
cd by Rudd d Carleton.

From "Jeferson's Book about Doctors" lately publish
cd by Rudd d Carleton.
Abernethy is a by.word for rudeness
and even brutality of manner; but he was
as tender and generous as man ought to
be, as man of great intelligence usually
is. The stories current about Abernethy
are nearly all ictions of the Imagination !;
or, when they have any foundation in fact
relate to events that occurred long before
the hero to whom they are tackled by an
ecdote -mongers had appeared on the stage
He was eccentric-but his ecccntrcities
always took the direction of common
sense; whereas the eXtrayagances attribu-
ted to him by popular gossip are fire.
qucntly those of heartless butfoon.--
His time was precious, and he rightly con.
sidered that his business was to set his pa
ticnts in tue way Of recovering their lost
health-not to listen TO their tatuous pro-
sings about their maladies. s.-He was there
fore prompt and decided in checking the
egotis'ic garruity of valetudinarians.-
This candid expression of his dislike to
unnecessary talk had one good result
People who came to consult him took care
not to offend him by bootless prating. -
A lady on one occasion entered his con-
sulting room, and put before him an in
jured finger, without saying a word. In
silence Aberncthy dressed the wound, when
instantly and silently the lady pat the usu-
al fec on the table, and retired. In few
daye she called again, and offered her
finger for inspection. "Bctter 7" asked
the surgeon. Better" answered the la
dy, speaking to him for the first time
Not another word followed during the rest
of the interview. Three or four similar
visits were made, at the last of which the
patient held out her finger free from ban.
dages and perfectly healed. "WellT"
was Abernethys monosylabic inquiry
"Well,' was the ladys equally brief an.
swer. "Upon my soul, madam" exclaim-
ed the delighted surgeon, "you are the
most rational woman l ever met with !"
To curb his tongue, however, out of re-
spect to Abernethy's humor, was an i'm
possibility to John Philpot Curran, Eight
! times Curran personally unknown to Alb
ernelhy,) } had called on the great surgeon
and eight times Aberncthy had looked at
the orators tongue Ceiling him, blythe by
that it was the most unclean and utterly
abominable tongue in the world,) had
curtly advised him to drink less, aud not
abuse his stomach with gormandizing, had
taken guinea, and had bowed him out Of
the room. On the ninth visit, just as h,
was about to be dismissed in the same sum
mary fashion, Curran, with fash of hi
dark eye, fixed the surgeon, and said
