And that had been scarce ten minutes gone,
When in came a case of olecranon,
There was next a dislocated hip,
Resulting also from a slip.
Zymotic diseases lend a charm
To genial autumn, moist and warm.
We have Scarlatina and Typhus then,
And Cholera good for medical men;
But practice is best, I always find,
In the bracing air of the North-East wind.
