demning euthanasia-the painless kill
ing OF incurables.
After indicating several cases where
supposed incurables had been cured.
DR.. Shoemaker said:
And the euthanasia might lay itself

as 1t ia. You've heard tho story of the
man and the Aberdeen terrier2
There was q man whose wife had an
Aberdeen terrier OF extreme feroclty.
II DIT the man a number of times. He
expressed great hatred for II.
Finally the terrier bit a large piece
out OF the calf OF the mans leg, and
the next day 1t disappeared.
THE man advertised widely for the

5000 for II. His friends wers amazed.
"I thought, said a friend to him.

Why, then, do you offer such p
