Medicos Made Merry Around the
Festive Board.

The few Iaymen who were present
left their vermiform appendices. their
compound comminuted fractures of the
hfty-second tibula, their thrombosis
and other things that doctors love,

the physicians chose their partners and
sauntered toward the feast rooms.
The menu was discussed nicely and
