SENDING FOR THE DOCTOR.
By CHRISTINE TERHUNE HERRICK.

The world is divided into two classes
those who send for the doctor too late
and those who send for him when he is
not needed And it is the latter who have
reason on their side.
One can hardly take up a paper now

short Illness A child is out and playing

plains Of having a slight chill, takes to
his bed and dies within forty-eight hours,
also from pneumonia Perhaps no medi-
cal treatment could have arrested either
case But there are cases when early
sending for the doctor might have saved
the patients life.
It is not the time Of the year when
even slight colds should be neglected.
and il is apparently not a season when
home pr ctice is altogether potent in
checking them. The visit Of the doctor
means two or three dollars. and the
economically disposed shrink from the
outlay. It is one Of those beautiful false
economies Of which the world is full.

to save for something they wont want

Nowhere can there be found poorer
place for exercising this least attractive

be sure, there are those Who send for the
doctor when they have a hngerache. They
have their place in the great economy OF

are turned out every year could support
life. But those who hesitate to send for
the doctor are not or this class. They are
usually found among those who dislike 70

ANDREW CARNEGlE-A OHHR4CrtR sKrrcH

consequent amassing Of stupendous for

nation would step in. and by purchase or
coniiScation acquire possession Of the
productive wealth Of the country. An
