’OPATHISTS IN CONSULTATION.

The following brief consultation occurred in Fulton, N. Y., recently:—

Two physicians were called, of opposite schools. After shaking hands over the sick man’s bed, one said to the other,—

“I believe you are an —’opathist.”

“Yes, I am; and you are a —’pathist; are you not?”

“Yes; and I can’t break over the rules of my society by aiding or counselling with you —— for the sake of one patient. Good day!”

“Sir, I mistook you for a Christian, not a barbarian! Good day!”
