IMPATIENT.
A doctor who was noted for his pretences rather than for his cures was called to prescribe one day for a man who was ill, and gave him some medicine. The next day but one he called to see the patient. • How is he to-day ?’ he asked a servant at the door. ‘ He’s dead, sir -that’s how he is,’ said the servant. ‘He is, eh* said the doctor indignantly. ‘ Well, that’s always the way. People expect our medicine to woik wonders, and then they get in a hurry and don't give it time to prove what it can do !’
