WELL
We have just had the pleasure of
meeting again after an interval of
years, an old medical friend who gave
us this "reminiscences, that we are glad
to give to our readers While he
was a medical student with a phvsi-
clan, in a nearby town, the latter was
called to see patient in Williams
town, and the former accompanied
him. and he must have been well paid
for the lesson learned on the visit.
When the physician arrived at the
house of the patient, he found he had
left at home all his medicine. The
student who alone was in the secret
supposed that it would be necessary for
himself to go back and get the medi-
cine case. At that stage of his edu-
cation he was III this matter an limo
cent Abroad. But there was more in
the old DOCTORS head and philosophy
than the student had then dreamed of.
The doctor called on the nurse for
two tumblers of water, and a spoon,
and vigorous beating of the water
was begun. In due time the nurse
was given the glasses with the direc-
tlons to give the patient every hour,
and alternately, from them, and the
medical man and his student started
for home, On the way the latter ven
tured to ask the doctor what would be
the effect of the medicines. The re-
ply came quickly, cit will keep the
nurse awake. " The next day both
doctor and student returned to see the
patient and found him doing well.
And the doctor took his fee, didn he,
for the visit? commented one on
hearing the story only another in
nocent abroad would be doubtful on
that point But who shall say the pa
tient could not as well, or may be
better, afford to pay the usual fee for
that visit? AS this Doctors biog-
graphy has never been written, it may
be added here that he died young,
comparatively.
