the insistent fear of sickness. Speezer was the semi -official doctor; at least, he had read more books about medicine than the others. { Even Bquire Harge “reckoned that Herby was a good sawbones,”

Speezer looked pale, rubbed his jaw and said: “We'll have to amputate.” Isaac's Indian companions agreed. Jake Wherryman proved to have, hidden away for a year, a bottle of- whisky, which he brought out regretfully, and Isaac was put into a heroic mood almost immediately. He was laid out on a kitchen table in Harge's living room, and Harge, Aaron, Jake and an Indian held him down, ‘while Speezer operated. Here was a new Speezer, cool and precise and commanding. He had a small surgical kit, well kept, but he had to use one of Jake's handsaws, sharpened and boiled. He cauterized the smaller blood vessels with a hot poker— the raw flesh sizzled.
