FROM THE OOCTOR-CoME TO US
Most Of the physicians in town will

always prompt in making up medi-
cines, no matter how urgently needed.
They know also, that we charge rea-
sonably and never make mistakes.

no matter Who-and ask advice or
help, we are always wrong because
no one-not even the one who loves
us most, can know all the twists and
turns of our minds, all the aspira-
tons and struggles of our souls.
We must live alone, as we are born,
and die alone. Some we may love,
some we may hate, some may walk
very near us for a time and help us
bear our load, but it comes to the one
thing at last-we struggle on-and
even though we are surrounded by
marching multitude that seems
bound for the same place, by the
same road, yet, we must march on
our own feet, no matter how crippled
and weary they are.
We may count our life by our emo
tons, but our emotions are not all of
life. Love, hate, grief, pleasure, pain,
good, ev1-al these may come and
go almost without our volition, but
we come into life, it takes us and
wraps US about with it's great mys-
terry, we know not why it has picked
us out of the void of the never-was or
at what moment that, tired of our
futile cries against fate, it will throw
us into the void of the know-not-
where. We only know that we are
in the land of the living and must
stay here for a time alone. Poor Bill,
