Tooth Drawing
A snobbish-appearing individual accosted a countryman in homespun with the following interrogation:—
“I say, ah, my fraand, are you sufficiently conversant with the topography of this neighborhood to direct me to the nearest disciple of Æsculapius, eh?”
“What?” exclaimed the astonished rustic.
“Can you familiarize me with the most direct course to a physician?”
“Hey?”
“Can you tell me where a doctor lives?”
“O, a doctor’s house. Why didn’t you say so before?”
