"Admiral, admiral, I didn't say you were ill; only you looked ill a a little nervous, or so. Rather pale, eh? Is it not so?" "Confound you, do you think I want to be physicked? I tell you, I have not a little but a great inclination to give you a good keelhauling. I don't want a doctor just yet." "But it may not be so long, you know, admiral; but there is Jack Pringle a-waiting you below.
To such men, and to all the class of vagrant and pauper criminals, a convict prison means a comfortable home, where they are fed and clothed, and bathed and physicked, and have all their wants supplied, without trouble or care, in exchange for their liberty and such labour as they can easily and cheaply perform.
And he said it was nice and novel to be looked after and watched and physicked and bossed by a pretty nurse in uniform but I don't suppose he told his wife that. And when he came out he never took the trouble to hide the fact that he'd been in. If any of his friends had a drunkard in the family, he'd recommend the institution and do his best to get him into it.
I positively must go on deck and look at the shore, if I can do nothing else." "Why, ten minutes ago you had had enough of it?" "Yes, but ten minutes here has made me feel quite sick. I shall go to the first lieutenant for a dose." "I say, Easy, we must both be physicked on the same day." "To be sure; but stop till we get to Malta."
Thus physicked, her patient became communicative, and chattered on about his native place but did not name it and talked about the people there. Now our district visitor was, if the truth must be told, a compounder. She would permit her pupils to talk about earthly affairs, on condition they would listen to heavenly ones before she went.
If his finger ached, or he had a pain in his big toe, he was physicked with half the Pharmacopoeia; he underwent divers systems of regimen, was kept out of draughts, cautioned against chills, cased in red flannel; he might, to crown all, have been laid by in cotton-wool.
Some said that Claus Hopper had seen the devil, while others hinted that the house was haunted by the ghosts of some of the patients whom the doctor had physicked out of the world, and that was the reason why he did not venture to live in it himself. All this put the little doctor in a terrible fume.
Medicine should not be required except for worms, and the puppies should be physicked for these soon after they are weaned, and again when three or four months old, or before that if they are not thriving. If free from worms, Newfoundland puppies will be found quite hardy, and, under proper conditions of food and quarters, they are easy to rear.
He was paraded to the main deck in great form, his sword held over his head; his pistols, in a bucket of water, carried before him; and having been duly shaved, physicked, and soused into the cow-pen, he was allowed to return to his cabin, like a drowned rat. The first lieutenant of marines was a great bore; he was always annoying us with his German flute.
Boys, to your lessons." "This is more than I bargained for," said Lynch, making a wry face to Leslie. "Or I either," replied Leslie, returning the grimace. "Fancy a whole month!" "Bad as being in prison." "I wish we had kept in, now," sighed Lynch. "Yes, so do I, but it can't be helped." "No, we've had the 'lark, and must now be physicked."
