ALLOPATHIC DUCK-TRAIL

(From Truth Teller)

One day. a duck in human frame
But human only in the name
With webbing gait came through the wood
BY crooked route, as real ducks would
He led the flock in single file,
And laid for all a we'll marked trait.
He made path that led his kind
To shut their eyes and go it blind
A devious, crooked winding way
In which they found at close of day,
Twas farther to the goal they sought
Than twas when first they started out
If you should ask me for the
OF this old duck path of i'll fame
I'll tell you,-no,-you needn't laugh,
The name Is Mud Duck ALLOPATH
And so think you plainly see
My ducks a man,-He's called IN. D."
He leads the sick devious way;
And though for health they daily pray,
He will not leave the beaten track
For fear some duck might say, "Quack, Quack"
So, just because the path there,
And duck Drained travellers had fear
To change custom long ordained
And forced by law all mankind,
The world at large would still submit
CThough 1t displease Them they admit,
And go taking poison dope,
With silly, supersttious hope
That quinne, strychnine, calomel
And other poisons, born in hell
Could aches and pains and suffering quel,
And make sick man sound and well.
And if man should dare protest
And call the whole darned scheme, pest,
And patronize some other school,
He would be downright fool.
For hadn't all wise NJ. DIS said
They'd "all the knowledge to be had;
And Chiropractors are but fakes,
And drugless doctors all quacks'?
In fact how could person DIE
Without an NJ. d. standing by?
So most ducks waddle in line,
And health, by drugess means decline,
But some can see that precedent
Is not stiff it can't be bent
Though custom yields a sinister power,
There comes time-there comes an hour
When men will leave the beaten trail
And useless customs will assail.
And thinking men begin TO see
There's not much in Allopathy.
OF course all are free to say
That Allopaths came here to stay;
And stay they will and walk their trail,
While law can keep them out of Jail.
But times changing; of thought
Know drugs and knives all for nought
And duck-wise fools, who have no knack
