It was late the following morning before we awakened. The King was still sleeping in his robes; but the pills had operated finely and --the patient was saved. I have never practiced medicine from that day. I threw it up in disgust. In fact, I had thrown up emetics in disgust before; but now I renounced the whole pharmaco-paeal, allopathical, diabolical, pillological practice; for where the custom of the country requires the physician, instead of the patient, to swallow his own prescriptions, it is going a little further than Galen or Boer have ever indicated..If you get sick, gentle reader, don't send for me. I won't come. Epilogue. I might go on ad infinitum (that means without end, I believe, in school books) to prove that I have been on social terms with royalty, but I think I have given enough to establish my claim to good society. Should the community be still incredulous. I will furnish further proofs, for I have been in more Courts than that of his Majesty the King of all the Weimers. Courting sometimes is very agreeable, but sometimes; it costs more than it comes to; and, besides, receptions are not always as pleasant as one might anticipate. Kings are ticklish things to deal with--whether Queens are or not, I don't know ; I never tickled one. But this I do know: if tickling a King is evidence of familiarity,. and presents a claim for admission into good society, I have established that claim, for Weimer was always tickled when I adverted to his remarkable cure. laid it to the pills and my medical skill. Does anybody_want a dose?
