you should quit drinking poor

Sin spite of mans refusal to give
them the right and privileges to
which they are entitled, are to-

The difference between an edi-
tor and a doctor is that if an edi-
tor makes a mistake he has to
apologize for it, but if doctor
makes one he buries Il. If the
editor makes one there is a law
suit, swearing and a smell OF
sulphur, but if the doctor makes
one there is a funeral, cut flowers
and the smell Of varnish. The
doctor can use a word a yard
long without knowing what it
means but if the editor uses it
he has to spell it. If the doctor
goes to see another mans wife
he charges for the visit, but if
the editor goes to see another
mans wife he gets a charge OF
buckshot. Any old medical
college can make a doctor, but
can't make an editor. He has to
be born. When a doctor gets
drunk its a case of overcome by
heat, and if he dies it is heart
trouble; when an editor gets
drunk it's a case of too much
booze, and if he dies it's a case
of delirum tremens. Author
