Second man has large syringe labelled "Dr. Cortelyou" and a hooked knife labelled in red ink, "P. M. Gen." Very long paragraph on page 2 opens, "Dr. Osler recently opened his mouth and found himself famous. An unconscious humorist, his name instantly became a household word; for it is not exaggerating the fact to say that by the utterance of a few phrases he became more widely known in a few hours than in the many years of unflagging effort devoted to the cause of education. It is now believed by many people that the object of his mission aboard is not to become a fellow at Oxford, but to accept a lucrative position on the staff of Punch...." He could decide when a joke is old and should be chloroformed. Hansen database #434.
