Were About to Make n Broth of Their
Attendant.
A celebrated Scotch physician tells 4
story of madhouse doctor whose
presence OF mind alone saved his life.
"A great friend OF mine was for n
considerable time the medical superin-
tendent OF a lunatic asylum near Glas-
Cow. One day In making his customary
rounds he had occasion to visit the
patients in the kitchen, who were pre-
pairing the dinner. There were seven
OF them-all big. sturdy fellows, who
were believed to be harmless. The
keeper only looked in upon them now
and again. feeling that his constant
presence was unnecessary. The doctor
unlocked the iron-barred door OF the
Kitchen and went in among the luna
tics. There were five large boilers con-
tanning scalding water ready for max
ing the days dinner for the patients
One of the lunatics pointed at the boil
ers full of hot water. and, laying his
hand upon the doctors shoulder. said:
Doctor. you'll make fine pot OF
BROTH and the words had no sooner
been uttered than the other six mad
men shouted in n voice OF delight:
Just the thing!' and. seizing the doc
tor. were in the very act Of putting him
into one OF the large boilers OF scalding
water. when the doctor had the pres
ence Of mind TO say. but not second
too soon: Capital broth. but It
would taste better II l took my clothes
or The madmen. with yell OF de-
light. said yes and the doctor asked
them to walt a moment while he went
and took his clothes OF. but as soon as
he got out Of the kitchen he turned -
key In the door and ordered the kee
to see to the lunatics being put un
restraint. The Doctors presence :.
mind saved him. 1t is true. from a ~
rible death. but he died shortly af
raving mad. This experience had -
stroyed his reason"
