Dr Visits A Lady Of Excessive Health Complaints

A doctor visits a well person who overwhelms him with a long list of ailments. A quip about her robust health follows as the nursemaid misreads oysters for a snack and a child’s honesty echoes a humorous misfortune at market.

Anecdotes on early county court life and frontier humor

A collection of sketches recounts early court sessions in a log tavern with a jail stable, the judge rebuking two lawyers while a backwoodsman heckles from the crowd. Other vignettes include a Wisconsin trader’s tale of coon and skunk pelts, a debtor’s evasive promises, and a bank cross examination with a novel counting ruse.
