“HOW BILL” GETS BY
Bill live in my town—in yours
too. If the Bills in this land were
organized, they would make a
formidable political party.
There are some fifteen doctors
in my town. When Bill moved here
he enquired around for the most
popular doctor and retained him
as his family physician—as long
as the doctor would do his work
without pay, which was over two
years . . . The doctor became too
insistent about his pay to suit Bill.
Then, our hero sought the form
idable competitor of the leading
doctor—and recited the two years
of “robbery” that he had endured.
The ambitious competitor swallow
ed the hook, line and sinker! H e
treated Bill’s infirmities as long
s he could afford to without re
muneration; some competitors are
that way.
Then Bill sought the doctor that
lived farthest away from his
neighborhood, who had never heard
of the experience of his contem
poraries with the new patron. He
grabbed Bill with open arms. Out
of this doctor, Bill got a couple of
tonsillectomies, two obstetrical ser
vices and several bedside influenza
case, before the doctor awakened
to the real situation.
Every physician that ever touch
ed Bill came away with a water
haul! At last Bill moves to anoth
er town, full of invective for his
last place of abode. It was a hick
town, with the meanest people in it
in the world!
• Those of my readers who are
acquainted with Bill, know that he
can tell you just how the United
States Senate ought to perform!
It will take a long time to educate
some folks to the point of getting
above the tactics of Bill—the fel
low that public opinion alone can
remove from our midst.
