DOCTORS.

A doctor is a high grade mechanic,
who thinkers with the human mocha
.nism and makes repairs and altera-
tons at reasonable rates.
, Doctors are so wise that they can
tell what makes a mans great toe
swell by looking at his grocery bill.
A good doctor can take a drop of
blood from a total stranger, and af-
ter looking at it through a micro
scope, will often be able to shake
hands with at least a dozen yarie-
ties Of microbes, which are old
friends Of his. Some doctors are
wiser than that. They are so wise
that they can tell whether a pat.
lent needs 35 cents worth of medi.
cine or a $3.50 operation. without
looking at him at all, provided they
can find his rating in Bradstreet's.
These doctors, like some wizards
of finance, are. considered too wise,
however.
Doctors are manufactured by
medical colleges in such quantities
that a new doctor has to wait two
years for the sick-list to catch up,

cal students are very wild, wearing
boards on the slightest %provocation
and going around with their pockets

are stuffed full of ethics. Doctors
must not advertise or encourage the
public in any way, except by wear
