when the DR.. left, and the DR.. very
sympathizingly told him mot to
erievo- that he'd soon be back"
When the young man said, "ho
was only crying because he would
be back" Good The DR.. took
tho joke gOod.naturodly as he
should have done, as no has made
many poor patients swallow
worse pills. We hope their COL
