DOCTORS AND PATIENTS.
Odd Tales of Physicians of the OLD
school in England.


A physician with large practice sees
strange sights-some humorous, some
pitiful, and some irritating. Sir Ben
jamin w. Richardson, commenting on
the fact that these singular sights tend
to produce in the doctors mind the
feeling "All things are alike to ALL"
says he once surprised bishop by say
ing that the writer of Eccleslastes must
have been doctor.
Once a woman who kept q fuel store
brought her husband to DR.. Richardson
in little cart with his body covered
with small coal, under the idea that by
this means she was keeping him warm.
Another woman, to whom he prescribed
an ether mixture, therefore volatile,
might be agreeable to take.
lie was called in the early days of his
London practice to visit a servant in
large house, and overheard the mistress
ask the housekeeper: what sort of a
man is he, and how did he come? Did
he driver"
II think you'll like him. ma'am,"
replied the housekeeper; but, poor
man! he is only a walking doctor yet"
People made a distinction between
the walking and the driving doctor in
former days. A physician with large
paying practice used to ride in a chariot
which cost 300 guineas. Now people do
not care if doctor comes in landau,
or brougham. or a cab, provided he
comes quickly.
The old physician was known by
everybody as a doctor. He wore a long,
broad-tailed coat. knee brooches, Hes
sian boots, q frilled shirt with rufiles
at the wrists, and a large white cravat
of the finest lawn. He carried care
with a perforated box at the top, which
held camphor or some other smelling
substance. When he was called to a
consultation, he expected to find a table
spread with wine glasses, decanter of
brandy and bottle of wine-Youth's

Popularity and a Slap.

There were only bright faces, and the
air was filled with cheers. She bowed
very affably; the prince held his hat a

bowed. The prince of Wales took Off
a cap with white band and held it
rather gracefully, as if to show that he
should have bowed were the queen not
present. Prince Alfred looked little
sulky and kept his cap on his head.
The queen did not appear to see him,
but she did. She whipped the cap off
his head with one hand, and with the
other gave him such slap in the face.

WILD WITH GRIEF,

Mrs. Louise Hunter Searching for the
Father of Her Children.
The officers of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children have in
hand case not entirely devoid of inter
est, inasmuch as it involves the care of
FIVE little children who TO a great extent
have been thrown upon the cold charity
Of the world. About a week ago a Mrs.
Louise Hunter arrived from Eureka, Cal,
with two little children, and she took
from children's home in Oakland three
other of her offspring who had been there
for year or so. She took her little ones,
who range in ages from II to years, to
a room on First street, near Howard,
where she lived in secIusion, seldom leav-
ing her apartments. The family was pro-
vlded with food by the landIa lady, but
within a day or so the case r ached the
ears of the officers of the humane society.
who at once made an investigation.
To them Mrs. Hunter stated that her
husband, Fremont Hunter, lumberman,
deserted her in Eureka about the time of
the disappearance OF a woman named Nc
Grill. That was abour three months ago
and she came to San Francisco in hopes of
finding the man. She believed from what
she can learn that he did not stop here
long but went to Mexico. One of the girls
she hired out to a tamale man in Alameda
for IS month and the society's officers
are now hunting for the child, who is but
9years of age. Yesterday when the officers
called upon Mrs. Hunter they found her
in a condition that warranted them in
sending the woman to the Receiving
Hospital. They fear that her sorrow has
caused her to resort to opiates or stimu-
lants. At any rate she is not fit to take
care of the children, three of whom were
sent to the Youths Directory. The doc
tors advise that Mrs. Hunter be sent to
the City and County Hospital.
