The Doctor’s Opinion.

“Now, there was my uncle, the late John G. Fullenwider,” said HI Spry, apropos of nothing In particular. “He had the whooping-cough at the age of 4 years, and again when he was 92, which was, I am san-gwine, a rather unusual record. I wasn’t present the first time, but I was 'round about on the second occasion. It wasn’t especially serious—he didn’t whoop loud enough to be heard very far—but they called In the doctor. He gave the old man something to sort of ease him up, and then left I beaded him off at the gate, and asked him what he thought

about it. Doc, you know, while he's as tender as an old Mother In Israel with his patients, has the name of having very little time for sympathizing friends, and he says: “ ‘Well, if you want my honest opinion, I sort of think it is a long time between whoops!’ “And with that he shut the gate, and poked off down to Ike Gapp’a, where there’s always a bushel of babies, and sickness all times of the moon, and where he’ll never get a cent in the living world; and is perfectly aware of it.”—Woman’s Home Companion.
