An exchange says: That the difference
between an editor and doctor is that if
an editor makes mistake he has to a.
apologize for it, but if the doctor makes
one he buries it. If the editor makes
one there is lawsuit, swearing and the
smell of sulphur. but if the doctor makes
one there is funeral, cut flowers and
the smell of varnish. The doctor can
use word ard long without knowing
what it means, but if the editor uses it
he has to spell it. If the doctor goes to
to see another man's..wife he charges for
the visit, but if the editor goes to see
another mans wife he gets charge of
buckshot. Any old medical college can
make doctor, but can't make an editor.
He has to beiborn. When doctor gets
drunk it is a case of overcome by heat,
and if he dies it is: heart failure. When
al OoAtoA SCGo uIu ~ 10 q case Vi lOO
much booze, and if he dies if ia case of
dslirium treatmens. Now. will the doc
tors be good?
