MEDICAL ADVICE.
“I’m very ill,” said Skinflint, once essaying
To get a doctor’s counsel without paying.
“I see it,” quoth the wily old physician;
“You’re in a most deplorable condition.”
“But tell me,” cried the miser, “for God’s sake,
Tell me, dear doctor, what I ought to take.”
“Take! as to that—why, take, at any price,”
Replied the leech, “take medical advice!”
