I was in such a hurry that I actilly pulled him along, he walked so slow; but he only laughed, and I couldn't help thinkin' that doctorin' had a hardinin' effect on the heart. I was determined if ever I fell sick I wouldn't send for him. "At last we got there. I went in all of a tremble, and crept to the bed, thinkin' I should see his dead body. But he wasn't there at all.
"Now, when a boy comes an' says he can do anythin', why I jest haw! haw! at him. But you're a man, Wade, an' one as has been there. Now I'm hard put fer hands. Jest speak out now fer yourself. No one else can speak fer you, thet's sure. An' this is bizness." "Any work with stock, from punchin' steers to doctorin' horses," replied Wade, quietly. "Am fair carpenter an' mason. Good packer.
"He's so dumm he'll b'lee' most anything. If I have much more dealin's with your pop, Tillie, I'll be ketchin' on to how them novels is got up myself. And then mebbe I'll LET doctorin', and go to novel-writin'!" The doctor laughed with relish of his own joke, as Mr. Getz, grim with anger, stalked up to the buggy. "Look-ahere!"
Sure came a long way if that’s where he started." "I’ll go get Hamilcar. He knows somethin’ ’bout doctorin’," Fowler cut in. "Maybe Doc Matthews ain’t here, after all." "Hey, Sarge, can I see you a minute?" came a hail from without. "You manage." Muller made it more order than request as he left. Drew sat alone with Shannon, one hand on the boy’s shoulder to steady him.
My cow's sick, an' the men are no good doctorin'. I'll jest ask Milt over." "No one like Milt!" responded the other woman, heartily. "Good day there you Milt Dale!" called the first speaker. "When you git away from these lazy men come over." Dale never refused a service, and that was why his infrequent visits to Pine were wont to be prolonged beyond his own pleasure.
"It ain't nothin'," replied Aaron doggedly. "Jest a man fell coming to the office. Reckon he had a jag on. Doctor says he may have broke a rib. He's doctorin' him. You jest run round the house, and in the front door, Miss Clemency, and don't let out the dog, an' see to your ma."
I know that they all think the world of you, and flatter you up, and they're as biddable as you please when you're doctorin' 'em; but I guess it would be different if you was to set up for one of their own kind amongst 'em." "There is n't one of them," he retorted, "that I don't believe I could have for the turn of my hand, especially if it was doubled into a fist. They like force."
Why, there's old Dr. Jalap, over to the Corners. He give Beulah Pegrum seven Liver Pills at one dose, and only charged her fifty cents, over 'n' above the cost of the pills. Now that's what I call doctorin', not but what I like Dr. Brown well enough. But Mel'dy well, there! and now to have her took off so suddin, and never to know whether she's buried respectable, or buried at all!
I tell you, John, them Indians can't be beat doctorin' a man up when he's been chawed up by a animal." "I want to thank her," Mackenzie said, feeling his heart swing very low indeed. "You won't see much of her now since you've come to your head, I reckon she'll be passin' you over to me to look after. She's shy that way.
I see what was comin', and put my arm up to fend it off; and gettin' the blow on my fore-arm, it got broke acrost as quick as a wink, and I dropped. So they picked me up, and havin' a mate aboard who knew some doctorin', I was spliced and bound up, and put under hatches on the sick-list.
