     The long-suffering public is threatened with a medical controversy among the doctors as to who killed McKinley. A glance at the bulletins from the bedside of the lamented president, signed by a round dozen of M. D.s, produces the impression that he was doctored to death. Thelic, inste pubad [sic] of reading the controversy, would be better employed by turning their attention to the dissertation of the sapient Dooley on surgery and Christian science. “If the doctors had a little more Christianity and the Christians a little more science,” he says, [“]it wouldn’t matter much which a man called in, provided he had a good nurse.”
