On arriving at the house, and in quiring who was sick, he was informed no one. He had been sent for merely to write a certificate that the family was poor and needed assistance. That certificate was to be circulated in this city in order to raise money for the relief of the family. Another very prominent physician was summoned, some years ago, about two o’clock, a. M.. to see a sable patient, sup posed to be ill. On reaching his patient he was informed that she was not sick, but haring just bad a bad dream, she sent for him to interpret it for her.
