physician, but for his native wit. An
old lady afflicted with sciatic rheuma-

the Boston Journal man, with much
gusto, that after several visits from
DR.. W., of the consolation kind, in
which he had cyaded, by carefully
leading the conversation into other
channels, committing himself as to
the outcome of her malady, determined
that next time he should say some
thing definite, and with the following
result:
"Now, doctor, I want you to tell me
if you can cure my rheumatism +
DIR. W., judging from her tone that
evasion this time was out OF the ques-
