Show Surely Professional. It was well known that the late Dp P. H. Brascome, though he demanded and got large fees fromhis wealthy clients, gave much of his valuable time to treating poor patients, says the New York Herald. One case of a laboring man came under his notice, and he not only treated the man, visiting visit-ing him every day and providing the necessary medicines free, but he managed man-aged also to see to it that the laborer's labor-er's family did not suffer for food while the man was ill. When the man got well again and went to work he sent out of his meager wages a grateful letter and enclosed a two dollar till, which Dr. Brascome, rather than offend, the grateful man by returning, .put Into his pocket. One of his colleagues happened to be present at the time and started to reproach him for being so "unprofessional" "unprofes-sional" as to accept so small a fee. "Why," said Dr. Brascome, "I took all the poor devil had. I guess that was professional enough." |
