A New England Doctor and His Odd Early Years

The piece follows Updike Underhill, a Yankee youth who becomes a doctor in colonial Massachusetts. It recounts his schooling in Greek and Latin, rough teaching experiences, a burnt schoolhouse, and his comic clashes with ministers and townsfolk. It ends with his tentative practice in frontier towns, noting rival physicians, quirks, and a quack who mentors him before a pivotal consultation.

Drunken Jockey at Public Review Ends in Banter and Bizzare Medicine

A drunken jockey collapses at a tavern, then recovers as doctors debate cures. A learned but boastful physician cites outdated theories while others mock and argue over treatment. The bystanders form a ring as the scene devolves into theatrical medical theatrics before the patient leaves to resume drinking.
