HEN the medical profession writes the history, up-to-date, Of those eminent practitioners who've done honor to the State; When theil' Hall of Fame is ready and they han~, upon the p~, Those Galens who cut lots of Ice, as well as lots or le~: When they Index the opsonic and reveal the deadly war, As the little white corpuscle ~ets the microbe in its maw: And they show the hordes of wigglers who have fled. in wild retreat, 'Vhen they hear the doctor's buggy come a-rattlin~ up the street,'l'here'U be place for Dr. Giddings who lives up the Kennebec, "no can dia,.,onose your troubles, to the very smallest speck, Who has cured us, by his knowled~'e of the modern healing arts, And who has bolstered ' up our courage, by the comfort he imparts, U that gallery of ' doctors should, to special 'worth, incline I'd expect the doctor's picture to be hung upon the line; }<'or his life has been a service to the public, that he's served. From his duty he has never, in the smallest instance, swerved. As a writer and a thinker. he has made a nante and fame; As a tried and true official, he's been a blessi~ to aU 1Iaine:To epitomize the impulse which has made his life the plan I should write him, as we know him, "One w110 loyes his fellow-man."
