'Ye noticed in one of our county papers that the physicians of Rensselaer have raised their practice rates; while the calamity howlers are telling of the reduction on farm products owing to taking off the tariff, the doctors propose to advance on their products instead of reducing, eh? Twelve and fifteen years ago when they had to go on horseback and in buggies out over the country to administer to the sick, and would take them a half day to make a trip, they would charge from $5 to $6 and seemed to make money at that: now they are prepared to make three trips and sometimes more in the same length of time and have to have from $8 to $lO per trip, and many of us if we haven’t got the price have got to do without service no matter how badly we need it. Unfortunately somehow fortune has not smiled upon some of us very favorably, and consequently we haven’t the cash on hand, and sickness and accidents don’t wait until our ship arrives.
