I should like to ascertain the author of the following:

The Parson versus Physician.

"How D.D. swaggers—M.D. rolls!

I dub them both a brace of noddies:—

Old D.D. takes the cure of souls,

And M.D. takes the care of bodies.

Between them both what treatment rare

Our souls and bodies must endure!

One takes the cure without the care,

T'other the care without the cure."
