end of it, and let that female
doctor put her finger on it, to see how it was furred? Not much! He
would put that tongue up into his cheek, and wouldn't let her see it for
twenty-five cents admission.

We have all seen doctors put their hands under the bed-clothes and feel
a man's feet to see if they were cold. If a female doctor should do
that, it would give a man cramps in the legs.

A male doctor can put his hand on a man's stomach, and liver, and lungs,
and ask him if he feels any pain there; but if a female doctor should do
the same thing it would make a man sick, and he would want to get up and
kick himself for employing a female doctor. O, there is no use talking,
it would kill a man.

Now, suppose a man had heart disease, and a female doctor should want
to listen to the beating of his heart. She would lay her left ear on his
left breast, so her eyes and rosebud mouth would be looking right in
his face, and her wavy hair would be scattered all around there, getting
tangled in the buttons of his night shirt. Don't you suppose his heart
would, get in about twenty extra beats to the minute? You bet! And
she would smile--we will bet ten dollars she would smile--and show her
pearly teeth, and her ripe lips would be working as though she were
counting the beats, and he would think she was trying to whisper to him,
and----

Well, what would he be doing all this time? If he was not dead yet,
which would be a wonder, his left hand would brush the hair away from
her temple, and kind of stay there to keep the hair away, and his right
hand would get sort of nervous and move around to the back of her head,
and when she had counted the heart beats a few minutes and was raising
her head, he would draw the head up to him and kiss her once for luck,
if he was as bilious as a Jersey swamp angel, and have her charge it in
the bill; and then a reaction would set in, and he would be as weak as
a cat, and she would have to fan him and rub his head till he got over
being nervous, and then make out her prescription after he got asleep.
No; all of a man's symptoms change when a female doctor is practicing on
him, and she would kill him dead.

The _Sun_ is a woman's rights paper, and believes in allowing women to
do anything that they can do as well as men, and is in favor of paying
them as well as men are paid for the same work, taking all things into
consideration; but it is opposed to their trifling with human life,
by trying to
