Riverton's Doctor

DOCTOR TROTTER, Riverton's hardworked medico, bears out the truth tucked away m that old adage about work being the finest tonic. For the doctor has, for many years, managed to fill m every twenty-four hours with more than a fair quota of professional, civic and social engagements. From early morn 'til dewy eve, he covers miles and miles of Riverton and the surrounding districts. The hour of the day, the weather and distance are factors with which Dr. Trotter never reckons. If a case demands Ms attention, he is ready to start without a second of hesitation. Surely, the finest ethics of the medical world find their expression In Trotter. When he comes m from a long, hard journey, the doctor doe 3 not seek the comfort of his library to while away a few pleasant hours. If there isn't some local meeting to demand his attention, then something is radically wrong. Whether expertly mastering the Intricacies of a set of Lancers or — m some lonely homestead — fighting to save a human life, Trotter gives the matter m hand that attention for i which he has an envied reputation.
