HOW TO BE A DOCTOR.
Lesson from the Modern Correspond.
ence School

1t is quite easy to be doctor If you
| only follow carefully the instructions
given below. After candidates for the
degree Of NJ. d. send us an affidavit
that they have read carefully the les
sens we give leading up to this de-
gree. we vii at once ship them their
| diploma printed in eighteen cOlors on
tenor drum parchment, sealed with a
green seal, and tied in blue ribbon.
The answers to these lessons must
come carefully wrapped in ten dollar
bills and addressed to Merry Andrew.
We cannot confidently assert that our
| diplomas will always be accepted by
| coroner's juries, but it may help some.
| The first step to be taken by young
men in order to be doctors is to raise
Whiskers and to cultivate a bald head.
| Many a bright young man, fresh from
| college and full of theory on the prac-
| tice of medicine, has been !gnomin-
! iously turned down by the community
into which he found his way because
of his youthful appearance. Just as
J. Caesar, deceased, liked to have only
people around him that were fat. so
do people ike to have their doctors
| bald and whiskered. So our first in
| struction, which we snail insist upon
as being absolutely necessary to de-
gree, is that young men candidates for
our degree must be long on wIliskers
| and short on hair
| Learn to make bread pills. Take
ordinary bread and moisten with wat
er and roll into neat pills. In case
you cannot diagnose a disease, do not,
under any circumstances, say so. Or
If man isn't really sick, but Just
| thinks he is. don't ever say SO. He
would merely set you down for an liz

Then you go and take your messen-

can return, but in about ten minutes
you should have another messenger
dash in. This will give the idea that
you are enjoying large and Iucra-
tive practice.
Cultivate a spirit of resignation.
Get used to having a man tell you in
hoarse, trembling whispers that if you
get him on his feet again he will give
you half of all his money, and then,
after he is restored to his normal con-
dition, dodge you for six months and
kick like bay steer because you
charged him s2.65.

don't give man anything but a
couple OF grains of quinine, do it in
solemn, impressive manner. 1t makes
all the difference in the world
Buy horse and buggy before you
purchase a case of surgical instru-
ments or library. People like to
| have doctor drive up to their houses
in style. 1t makes the neighbors ca
vious.
Don't explain too much. Let the
grave cover your professional secrets.
Study these rules carefully. You
| will be then well qualified to practice
on everybody except those whom you
would really like to get we'll. In such
| cases, call in specialist.

Island two weeks ago, and who was
supposed to have been drowned. ar
rived at his home in New Rochelle yes
terday. He said he was landed there
by a fishing smack by which he had
been picked up at sea. HOllenberg's s
story is that he was carried out to sea
by the undertow while in swimming.
His cries for help attracted no atten-
tion from the crowds on the beach,
and he had been carried out a long dis
tance. when he managed to get hold Of
a piece of wreckage that drifted toward
him, and by means of this he supported
himself until rescued by the fishing
smack. He was dressed in an old suit
of clothes, which he said had been
given him by the captain of the fishing
vessel
A man named Gray was drowned at
Coney Island on the day of Hollen-
berg's disappearance. His body was re-
covered Before it was found the po-
lice entertained a theory that Gray and
Hollenberg had gone away together and
had left suits of clothing in a bathing
house to give the impression that they
had been drowned.
