A medical man relates the following with great gusto. A friend of his had engaged a nurse, recently graduated, for a case of delirium tremens. Ihe physician succeeded in quieting the patient, and left some medicine, instructing the nurse to administer it.to him if he "began to see snakes again. At the next call the physician found the patient again raving. To his puzzled inquiry the nurse repeated that the man had been going, on that "way for several hours, .and < that she had not given him any niedieine. "But didn't I tell you to give it to him if he began to see snakes again?" demanded the physician. "But he didnt see snakes this time," replied the nurse, confidently. "He saw red, ■white, and blue turkeys with straw bats on."
