"Zounds, woman, haven't I told you to give him all he will take? Hoo much? Give him a couple of buckets full, if he will swallow them. Do you hear now? Two buckets full." "The Lord bless yer honor," cried the woman; and the doctor made his escape. At evening the doctor stopped, on his return, to ask after the patient. "How is he, woman?" asked the doctor. "O, he's been tuck away, save yer honor," cried the widow. "The wather did him no good, only we couldn't get down the right quantity. We did our best, doctor dear, and got down him better nor a pailful and a half, when he slipped away from us. Ah, if we could oonly ha' got him to swaller the other half pailful, he might not have died, yer honor." AN EXACT SCIENCE. It is sometimes painfully amusing to observe, not only the difference of opinion expressed by medical men from one generation to another, but by those of the same period, and same school. In the "London Lancet" of July, 1864, there appeared a curious table. A medical practitioner, who had long suffered from hay fever, had from time to time consulted various other medical men by letter, and he gives us in a tabular survey the opinions they gave him of the causes of this disease, and the remedies, as follows:-- "Herewith," writes Dr. Jones, "I forward a synopsis of the opinions of a few of the most eminent men, in various countries, that I have consulted. I have substituted a letter for the name, as I do not think it prudent to place before the general reader the names of those who have so disagreed." Consulted. Opinion of Cause. Recommended.
