THE LADY DOCTOR. There is a lady in our square As fair as fair can be, And she has taken, I am told, A Medical Degree: And now my aspiration is That she may doctor me. Imean to feign I‘ve caught a chill Somewhere upon my liver, Am haunted by rheumatic pains, Do nought but ache and shiver, Feel icy cold about the heart; Nerves all. too, in a quiver. She’ll come and look into my eyes With kindly contemplation, She’ll feel my pulse, and that will rouse A gentle palpitation. And then my symptoms all at once Will change to ‘inflammation.’ She'll not perceive, I fondly trust. I’m trying to deceive her. But diagnose my case at once As ‘intermittent fever,’ And I shall murmur to myself: ‘By Jove! I quite believe her.’ Clarke’s R 11 Pills are warranted to euro Gravel, Pains in the back, and all kindred complaints. Free from Mercury. Established upwards of 30 years. In boxes 4s fid each, of all Chemists and Patent Medicine Vendors throughout the World. Proprietors, 1 he Lincoln and Midland Counties Drug Company. Lincoln. England.
