Hold him, fellows, don't let him do Say, buckle up, you sugar-pill, you'll spoil my digestion. Down goes the Gelsemium, fifth potential. This is awful! My Heavens, boys, he'll die! Leave him alone, you geese, that's the easiest ten he ever earned. XVe must give him an emetic. Don't let him kill himself. Don't be fools. Say, but that arsenic is good: wish there was more of iti Never mind, boys, he'll probably vomit it all up. But you're out ten dollars. Oh, I don't care about that, but he'll surely die. Professor Milk said twenty drops of that arsenic was toxic. Ah! the last bottle: powder, too. Podophyl- lin. Wfell, heres to my liver, long may it wave. And the jumble of remarks stopped, as three pale faces and three red faces turned to the stakeholder and watched him give twenty dollars to one of the red faces. Good night, fellows, said the red faces, weve enjoyed ourselves very much. XYish you had had enough to go 'roundf' And they took the stakeholder out with them. Wfhile they were on their way to the nearest restaurant, they stopped at a drug store and paid a bill that read: Q' - ,' , A , s-1 0-1 -1 syxv'vQv-ful, .f.,'v.'v, Xfy- kr-.fvQ- X s . vi si-i ,1 - 1'- , L - ,, ,J , .1 - NJXVV- W- QQ- ev ' .J .V tv v- Ss IVIOFZTAR PESTLE. i. ll YP ' 1 - l' ' f-.i'-l'Ali-.- '-v- i iii- H- l --: i' wb' Wwvvvvvlvnvv v.vV lv3'vvv?.f3 vvvvlvvv ,. - Qfiilfw, i.- ., ., ii NrlifYvQ.. vw.-fav' Jvvvv.v'vJ vw' vw-fvvlw ,-rv.-f' r' , , l U , . ii ,m,.'lljAi-rf, .A,.,.i v,k,,i. -,,, - , vvvvskvvvvvvdv Yfvvv ,N vvwful Jvwl bfi vvvv 1 , x , ,. .idx l-f., - .V . r-A, 1. lg l Y vvwvv vfdvvdv vvrvvvvv, - - ' I -qv ll L ED1ToRs OF THE PULSE: Gezzfltwzezz-The above is based upon truth, and the details alone are fiction.

be Ullbractical curses 0 ? T 9 5' NWW2 it ,255 O do the Practical Courses properly one must provide him- self with a very indulgent, patient father, plenty of cuss- worcls and an abundance of wastable time. If you play iff 'ei ef . . . . a stiff game of poker you can dispense with the indulgent father. Having paid the mild forty-dollar ante, you are allowed to draw live cards. lfamiliarize yourself with the 9000000 fact, that these cards are not certificates of work done, but must be exchanged, etc., and then have a folding-bed put up near the black- board at the college entrance. Go to bed and watch the black-board for notices. For example: If you hold ticket for Class 5, in the Practical Course in Bunionologyf' and the notice reads: CLASS 5, BuNioNoi.oc:.v, AT 2 P. M. l STALENWIN. i L s . as i you can go out and read the newspaper until a quarter before three, when it is well to take your bunionoscope and goto the class-room. It is highly improbable that the instructor will be there that early, but if he is, perspire freely, puff hard, and tell him you came over as rapidly as possible from the class in the Practical Course in Superfluous lflairologyf' Then after letting the instructor see you lookithrough the bunionoscope a couple of times, get some friend to answer for you at roll-call and go and play billiards. The chief benefits of the Practical Courses are: Q11 The ready excuse they give for absence from the regular and impractical coursesg and fzij The efficient explanation to your father as to the speedy disappearance of the last draft. They are also a beautiful charity to the corporation of Rush Medical College. TWELVE. 157
