Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 132, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 June 1911 — Heroic Prescription. [ARTICLE]

Heroic Prescription.

Ruth Mason of Holyrood road, Just past five, is not only an attendant upon Sunday school but a Bible reader. Also she loves to play doctor. Attired In her father’s coat and topper, a pair of glasses on her nose and a make-believe cigar In her mouth, she pretended to make a professional call on-her mother, who is Indisposed for the moment. After feeling her mother's pulse, looking at her tongue and considering for a minute, she gave her orders: “A white pill every hour, a brown pill every other hour.” "But, doctor,” her mother complained, "I’ve a severe pain In my eye.” “Pluck it out," prescribed Dr. Ruth, "and cast It from thee.” —Cleveland Leader.
