i will treat her to the boat of my abilitiy but she is very ill and i fear she will not recover i j so the sentence was altered to for attendance upon my wife kill or cure the paper signed and delivered oyerto the physician his skill was unavail ing and the patient died but when tie bill came in the widower quietly repudiated the debt in toio in vain was it represented to him that tbe doctor held bia legal acknowledgment to the latter sued him for tbe amount in perfect confidence of gaining tbe day the miser did not dispute the circnm stances in court but requested to see tbe
