All the Year Round
Once when Abernethy was visiting
the hospital wards poor Irishman
jumped out OF bed and threw himself at
Abernethy's feet. Then he jumped up
and hourished limb, crying: That's
the leg yer Honnor Glory be to God!
Yer Honnor's the boy for doing it!
May the heavens be your bed Long
life to yer Honnorl" &c. This was a
man who had been brought in with
diseased ankle, for which amputation
had been ordered. But ybernethy
thought he could cure it, stopped the
amputation, and put the man under
constitutional treatment. The result
was a perfect cure, and an ecstacy OF
thankfulness on the part Of poor Pat.
The opportunity was seized by Aberne-
thy for giving clinical lecture, every
point OF which was Illustrated by Pats
emphatic "Thrue, yer Honnor; divvil
q lie in it." Every reference to the leg
brought out the member with flour
ish from under the cedclothes; and
the whole affair was most comical.
But while everybody was laughing at
the Irishman on his knees before the
great surgeon, Abernethy was compos-
ed. Bending down over the man he
said with much earnestness: 81 am
glad your leg is doing well, but never
kneel except to your Maker" As so
often happens, Abernethy preached
better than he practiced; that is to
say, he did not always adopt the good
advice he gave to his patients. Al
though so particular always in his
dietetic prescriptions Tor others, it is
that he was rather an i'm
moderate eater himself.
