KNEW MORE THAN THE VETS

Dog Acted as His Own Surgeon After the Doctors Had Failed to Effect a Cure. / "Medical degrees are not conferred Upon canines/’ remarked H. T. Gal* v »pln, owner of the life-saving Great ;Pane, Jim, ’’but if they were my dog Jim wight to have one, summa cum Unde. ' ’ "When Jkn was struck by a big Automobile some months ago and

crippled in the hip, besides receiving other Injuries, I sent him to 4he' dog hospital for a week and he had the attention of two veterinaries. They got him all right except the hip, and that £ept him lame until last week and seemed to get no better. ‘‘Two weeks ago I took him up the state with me—he loves an auto even if one. did nearly kill him —and one morning Jim showed up with two holes gnawed in his ham, one about six inches lower than the other, over the affected spot and so situated as

to act as a drain. They were not good to look at; but Jim was in better spirits than usual and within two days he was walking almost as good as new, and now the wounds have healed and I guess it won’t be much longer before his leg is all right "He did what the vets couldn’t do, or didn’t do, and just how he knew how to do it is more than Pcan tell you.”—New York Press.
