We learn from the Medicine Lodge
Cresset that our friend, Prof. |. O. Sher-
rod, the Lake City musician, has also
engaged in the practice Of medicine and
is physician equipped with all the nee
essary documents to enter the practice.
We had known for some time that Prof.
Sherrod was quite handy at removing
epldermls but the principal instrument
with which he operated heretofore was
good pencil. However, since he has
wldened out, it is our request that he
administer at once to the Cresset BOYS
and cure them now and for all time Of
that awful disease of spasmodic eIation
which manifests itself every time a punk
show comes to town.
