A few evenings ago physician OF
North Adams Mass. was called BY
telephone about one o'clock at night.
The call camo from BriSsville, about
two miles away. A child was there
suffering with croup aud in critical
condition. The night was Jark and
stormy, and the doctor found nothing
pleasant in the contemplation OF the
trip he was asked to make. When
preparing TO 60 ont in the dark and
rain his mind conceived bright
thought, which was imm diately fol-
lowed by acts. IIo called tie Briggs
vile house in which the sufferer lay
and requested tho parents to bring il
to the telephone transmit.er. This
was done. The child coughed its
croupy cough. and lie doctor listentd
intently to every sound that came
from his patient. He prescribed
remedy and one OF tho members, o
tho family prepared aud administered
liz. The relief was immediate and tht
recovery rapid. Tho doctor waited
at the telephone until he hoard o
the favorable result Of his prescrip
ton, and then sought again tho re
poso of his couch, proncuncing bles
sings on the inventor of the tele
