The Doctors Witness.

A certain physician brought suit
against man who had been his patient,
for the recovery of the amount of fees
charged in his bill. The patient plead
ed, in defense, that the doctor had visit
ed him many times after he was entirely
we'll; or, at least, after he-the patient
had declared that he did not need him.
He was willing to pay for those visits
which had been made while he was really
sick but not for visits which had been
persistently made after he was just the
same as well. Hehad been blessed with
the attendance of good and faithful
nurse, who could have carried him safe
ly through his convalescence and to
whom, he really believed, he owed his
recovery.
Upon this the doctor chuckled slee-
fully. Said he:
s'Your Honor, ! will prove by this
mans own nurse, of whose faithfulness
he boasts, that she considered him
not entirely out of danger at the time
OF which he speaks-the time OF the
visits for which he refuses to pay.
The nurse was summoned forthwith,
and she made her appearance and was
sworn. She was good looking, kind
faced. intelligent woman-a widow OF
middle age, and of good standing in So
