Dr. Flip would diagnose a case as "Fatty degeneration of the shinbone, sire," and the usual remedy would be prescribed. Over the victim went into the tank. Dr. Flip would then announce a case:
"Palpitation of the hair, sire. You can see for yourself how it is shaking."
"Let him have the prescribed treatment," was the order.
Dr. Flip then announced a case of "folderols in the right ear, sire."
"Soak it to him good!" was the command.
Dr. Flip then had a case of "tickdullerous." Similar treatment. All diseases looked alike to Neptune.
"Bunions!" was the next report of Dr. Flip.
"Poultice his hair good. It draws 'em up. Then saw off his leg at the knee," was the remedy prescribed for the bunion ailment. Dr. Flip brought out the saws with vile looking teeth. The two doctors sawed away.
"By cracky! sire, I can't cut it off," reported Dr. Flip.
"Give him an extra dousing!" ordered his Majesty.
