Hutton belonged, were once quite common in this country. Men conducting large lumbering operations in Maine generally arranged to take a "natural bone-setter" into the woods every winter.

"Then your trade in herbs isn't what has enriched you." The conversation was becoming a cross-examination. The bone-setter was beginning to be restless. "Oh, I make something out of the herbs," he answered. "And as you are thrifty, you buy land." "I've also got some cattle and horses, which bring in something. I raise horses, cows, and sheep."
