Horse And Buggy Days
BY IDA 10 MARTIN

to 1921; j. Fitzhugh, A. F. Belzer,
Joseph Martin, Charles II. Colds
borough, VIM. Macgill, and T. B.
Duckett to 1924.
In July, 1881, the County Medi-
cal Association was formed with
the following officers: President, DR..
William II. Perkins; Vice-Presi-
dents, Drs. William Raglan and E.
Tracy Bishop; Secretary, DR.. j. w.
Humrickhouse; and Treasurer, DR..
T. w. Simmons.
Drs A. S. Mason, L. T. Bishop,
William Raglan, J. Mop Scott, and
II. B. Wilson were appointed a
committee to prepare rules and reg
ulations.
One of the outstanding doctors of
the old days was DR.. Frederick Dor
sey, also one of the earliest in our
county. He was born just two
months before the independence
was won. These early doctors did
not have medical schools to attend,
but learned under another doctor.
DR. Dorsey was credited with being
one of the best in his profession He
was liked by young and old, and he
had a peculiar ability in getting the
confidence of G;5 patients. In mid
wifery his activities were never
ending; he was supposed to have
delivered over eleven thousand ba-
bies. He was also skilled as a sur
geon, and well liked for his success
es in children's troubles. He trav-
elled far to see his patients. And he
mad a few peculiarities too.
1t is reported that sometimes he
would go long distance to an
Episcopal convention, and to save
time and travelling trouble, he
would take in chicken fight on
the same trip.
Some of his wonderful cures were
based on logic, too. One man came
to him in great trouble; he had
swallowed a spider. No amount of
persuasion would convince the man
that he would be all right, so the
doctor finally blindfolded his pa
tient. He then selected a large blue
bottle fly, and after working around
in the fellows throat a while, he
announced that he had the spider.
The customer was greatly relieved
and very happy.
Dr. Dorsey's profession was taken
up by his son, John Claggett Dor
sey, and grandson, Frederick Dor
sey, Jr. For some time the three
generations of Drs. Dorsey were
practicing together.

Read the other day where country
folks and farmers spend more
money, proportionately, on their
homes than city dwellers do.
Doesn't seem hard to believe
when you think it over. Take the
folks in our town, for instance:
They're home loving people
who'd rather spend an evening by
the fire with mellow glass of beer
than go out in search of entertain
ment or diversion.
So it's only natural they put more
into what means most to them and
to their children: their homes. They
