The Medical Board of Ridgway.
Owing to several years of hard times
and low wages, many families have
neglected to pay their doctor bills, and
a large share of the laborers are com
pelled to take store pay or nothing,
leaving a very small margin for their
physicians. There are but few busi
ness firms tbat have taken any pains
to secure the pay for the physician
after treating his men or their families.
. When we receive an order from a
laboring man and present It to his
employer, he says, "Why, that man
owes me, Instead of me owing him,
mid I positively can't phy another
man's debts." Neither can we, nor
do we Intend to doctor for nothing.
Ve certainly are under no more obli
gations to visit the sick for nothing
than his neighbors are to put their
hands in thelrpocketsand pay the bill.
Physicians do more for the sick and
poor tlran any other class of profes
sional men. and they do it willingly
nid cheerfully, and always expect to
or it is their duty to do so, but we do
not expect to devote all our time and
medicine to nearly one-half our popu
lation without remuneration ; not
while quinine is worth six dollars per
ounce. And now, while having no
interest in railroads, lumbering busi
ness, coul mining and tailing compa
nies, we do not expect nor iMH we do
rheir business for nothing.
Let it le understood that the physl
.lans of Rldgway haveeach purchased
a black look, into which a good many
names have already been inserted.
These books will be frequently con
sulted, that any Who are in arrears
must first bring an order from their
employer before services will be ren
dered. And let it also be understood,
therefore, that after January 1st, 1879,
nil those indebted to us that have not
paid tip within the last year, or paid
part, or settled even by note, will not
and must not expect to receive any
benefits of our labor without iftish
down, for we resumed specie payment
mid no trust from January 1. 1879, or
an order from their employer. We
mean business.

Doctor Bordwell drove his team of
colts nearly across the ice on the pond
opposite Osterhouts tannery, on Mon
day afternoon. When within about
thirty feet of the opposite shore about
ten feet square of Ice gave way, with
out warning, and the colts at once sank
to the bottom, no pnrt of them being
visible but their noses. Wm. MrChes
ney was driving and the doctor was
wa.king ahead, trying the ice as he
proceeded. When the teatrt. sank the
doctor at once seized then! by the
bridles, thus holding their heads above
water while the driver unhitched them
from the cutter and went to the tan
nery and got twelve or fifteen men to
assist in extricating the team. Many
of the men urged the necessity of cttt
tingofftheharliess.but the doctor, w it li
his usually cool head, convinced them
that the harness was the very thing
needed to pull the colts out. After a
rope hnd been passed around the neck
of one horse, and he Was safely landed
on the ice, the other in the meantime
standing on his tiptoe as it were, a
board was slipped tihder him as he
made a struggle to get out, and he was
also pafely landed. The colts were at
once hitched up and driven to the
bnrn. and blanketed, and that same
night the doctor drove to Do.r Hollow
to see Joshua DaVidwrn's foot, they
seeming to be none the worse for their
icy bath. The ice was eight inches
thick at the place of the break
On Monday morning Doctor Bord
well had engaged Judge Messenger to
take his heavy team, each horse weigh
ing from fifteen to sixteen hundred, to
go across the ice at the point where
the mishap occurred and bring over
some wood from the opposite side.
After cutting holes in the Ice to the
middle of the stream to test the thick
ness, the gentlemen concluded that it
would be too risky for so heavy a team,
but thought a lighter one would pass
and repass in safety. For the purpose
of testing the Ice th doctor made the
trip in the afternoon, with the result
as stated. The wood has hot yet been
hauled.
Pennfield, Pa., Dec. 31,1878.
Editor of Advocate The Ben

tion will hold a convention at Winter
burn on January 17th and 18th. 1879.
Beginning Friday (17th), on arrival of
mail train going west 2 p. m. and
closing on Saturday (18th) in time for
the 4 p. m. train going east. All are
invited. Yours truly,
Nellie Bird, Sec.
Treasurer McCauley, in retiring
from the office of Treasurer of Elk
county, carries with him the good will
of all the citizens of the county for the
able and Impartial manner in which
he has discharged the important trust
confided to his care. He found the
county heavily in debt when he en
tered the Treasurer's office, and now,
as he gives place to a new man, hands
over the books, which the annual set
tlement will prove, show the county
almost if not entirely out of debt.
And this favorable showing is due, in
a great measure, to the skill and un
tiring vigilance with which the funds
have been handled. May the new
Treasurer, as we think he will, follow
closely the path iuarked out by bis
immediate successor.
