time he was invited to stay. At one
house the person even went so far
as to say he was not sick but wish
ed to talk to someone. And talk
was one thing most Of the old doc
tors could do. Since they travelled
from one place to another they car
ried the news.
Some times the people confessed
their sins to him. In fact, the doc
tor was everything from dentist to
Father COnfessor. Some of the doc
tors of yesterday were rather heavy
drinkers. Some give one reason for
this, some another I have heard
that one said he drank when he
worried over patient. Another
said he drank for something to do
on the lonely, cold rides, for they
did not have the swift automobiles
we have today One of the first cars
in town belonged to DR.. Stanton and
many remember the red car.
The doctors did not have nice
offices either. Almost all of the
practice was done at the peoples
houses. They did not worry about
pay either.
