A gentleman in Alabama, in exerting himself one day felt a sudden pain, and fearing his internal machinery had been been thrown out of gear, sent for a negro on his plantation, who made some pretensions to medical skill, to prescribe for him. The negro having investigated the cause, prepared and administered a dose to his patient with the utmost confidence of a speedy cure.
No relief being experienced, however, the gentleman sent for a physician, who, on arriving, inquired of the negro what medicine he had given his master.
Bob promptly responded, "Rosin and alum, sir!" "What did you give them for? " continued the doctor. "Why," replied Bob," de alum to draw the parts together, and de rosin to sodder um." The patient eventually recovered.-- Exchange.
