DiStiaguIshsd Men Have Paid Their
Medical Attendants Literally.
The doctor who charged the estate
Of the late Christopher Magee Of Pitts
burg $4,000 for attendance upon the
deceased millionaire has been roundly
abused from one end Of the country to
the other, and yet his bill was not ex-
tortionate when compared with others
Of q similar nature. The length Of
time involved in the service, as well
as the other sacrifices, have much to
do with forming a Just opinion as to
the bill. When Samuel ]. Tilden died
his physician, Dr. Charles E. Simmons,
presented a bill for daily attendance
during seven years and eleven months.
which the papers Of the day said az
gregated $4,000. q report which
neither DR.. Simmons nor the trustees
would contradict. Jay Gould paid his
physician, DR.. Mum, $4,000 a year.
