How . Physician Proposed - Exchange

How . Physician Proposed - Exchange
Of Services
To the lover of dumb animals il seems
rather Extraordinary that physicians
should object 70 prescribing for a four
footed sufferer Some OF them, how
ever. do feel above it," and either re-
fuse altogether. or perform the service
under majestic protest. The Pail Mall
Budget tells the story Of French doc
tor and n painters wife. The doctors
name does not appear. but the painter
was Meissonier. One day Nine Meis-
sonier sent for the family physician,
and he hurried to the house. thinking
some illness had overtaken the artist.
IL was not the master Of the house,
however; it was only the lap dog.
The doctor pocketed his pride and
most zealously attended the patient,
who soon recovered. At the end of the
year he sent in his bill. but among the
items there was none for attendance on
dog. Nine. Meixsonier noticed the
omission. and called the physicians ut
tention TO it.
"You must charge for that, also"
said she. IL insist upon it,"
by no MEANS" was the reply. II
am not q veterinary surgeon. l was
very glad to do the dog a service, but
really can't be paid for it."
But insist upon it'll" said the lady.
'Well. them" returned the doctor,
'as the hinges Of my gate ere some
what rusty. NJ. Meissonier may bring
his brush and paint them for me-"
But as every grain of paint from
Meissoniers brush was worth more
than its weight in gold. the hint was
probably not taken.
