CoXSULTESiG THE FAMILY DoCTOE ! Not very many days ago, a lady residing near London called in the family doctor. Before he left the house, she asked him to wait for a few minuets, as she wanted his advice upon a peculiar matter. He waited, and presently the lady re-appeared, followed by a domestic bearing a large piece of beef. It was set down before the doctor. Oh, Mr. , " said the lady, "I'm so terribly alarmed by this cattle plague, that I'm almost afraid to cook anything in the way of meat. I've my suspicions about this sirloin. Now, just look at it, and tell me whether it had the plague or not." "My dear madame," replied the doctor, " I don't understand that kind of patient. I'm not a veterinary surgeon, you see, 1 don't attend cases of beef 1 I could only say it was -good if I tasted it." The- lady was in no wise taken aback. " Then come and dine with us, doctor," she said, " and if it is bad, you'll be able to tell us."
