family physicians. Now A Man to Remember, starring mister Lionel Barrymore.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
For the doctor was dead. The funeral was over.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
It had been an impressive afternoon. The town band had
walked before the funeral coach, and the people of the
town had plunged the sidewalks to pay their last respects.
The doctor was there, the earth was in place, and
the stone and the words that honored him, And before
the afternoon sun had sat, the vultures had gathered in

of the local department store, Jode Harkness, president of the
school board.
Speaker 3 (02:18):

creditors prefer to wait until well the day after the
benediction has been delivered.

had want us to have our money. I hold Doc

thirty seven cents. Hasn't paid a bill since nineteen twenty eight.

on the other side of town build up quite a
little factory section over there.

A lot of them folks need doctor, and.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Well, I guess i'll stay there. I need a little
eating money though, how much? All three hundred dollars. That's
a whale of a lot of money, John, Well, I
aim to do whale of a lot of eating in
this town.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
What have you got to offer his security?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Seventeen years experience as a practicing physician. Yeah, you know,
what do we say about horses, John? There's horses and
then again there's horses. I always say that about doctors too. Well,
I've done pretty well here, bro, can't you. I'm meant
about keeping my patience alive. That's my business, you know,
(05:07):
all right, John, I'm going to make out a note
for three hundred dollars and I'll give you two hundred
and fifty. Got to have a little bonus, you know,
when there isn't any security. But I always like to

your old friends this way?
Speaker 6 (05:22):

Here's the second paper, it's a deal. One of doctor
App's statements. It's made doctor Howard Johnson. It reads June seventeenth,
nineteen nineteen, delivery of child, twenty five dollars. Beneath it
is the notation Johnson has no money.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Wow, Doc, you have a fine baby, girl Johnson. Girl,

me work this land when I get old.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Girls are for people who can afford him. Out my
wife Johnson. I I did everything I could. I'm afraid
she wasn't in very good condition to begin with, and
well I had. I did everything I could. I know
how you feel. I lost my wife that way.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
She never had nothing like She lived bad crops, bad times.
Who was gonna have a good crop this season?
Speaker 4 (06:45):

Speaker 8 (06:46):
Yeah, yeah, I'll keep the baby warm.
Speaker 9 (06:50):
And you get out of here.
Speaker 4 (06:52):

Now what's the next paper.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
This is a bill to doctor Rabbit.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
It's from you, Homer see Homer Ramsay, General Merchant Days,
June seventeenth, nineteen twenty three to doctor Abbott account one
baby doll twelve dollars. Please remit well, happy birthday do you?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Happy birthday, Jean, Happy birthday to you. Now you take
a big breath and blow the candles out on it. Hey,
that's wonderful, all for it. Once. That means you're going
(08:35):
to get your wishes. Now, then what did you wish
for a dolly? Well? Well, well, I suppose you go
and look in your bedroom and see what you find.
You go with us undern the lights. Huh, yes, sir,
come on, oh yep, oh oh, Homer Ramsay, what's the matter. Oh,
(09:01):
I see Doc Robinson's.
Speaker 9 (09:03):
Out of town.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
All right, I'll be right over, doctors have the dog
on his time, trying to give party. How is she? Doc? Well, Homer,
your wife has a Q dependic on this. I'm going
(09:26):
to have to operate right away. How much you're gonna
charge me for this operation? I understand? Are you, by
any chance interested in how your wife is doing?
Speaker 5 (09:39):
I certainly am, Doc, But I don't want any of
this funny stuff about the price of the operation. I
want a fair price, but I don't want to be stuck.
Speaker 9 (09:47):
You understand.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I understand. Are you interested by any chance in how
your wife's doing? How is she? Once? She's very low?
Hello Homer? Hello, Doc?
Speaker 9 (10:08):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I have the bill here with me for your wife's operation?
Speaker 5 (10:15):
One hundred dollars. That's right, John, that's right, Homer. How
much of your time? Did the operation take?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
About four hours to calculate?
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Pretty good money for four hours work? Well, here, John,
let's get down to the facts. I don't mind paying
a just fee one hundred dollars for four hours.
Speaker 9 (10:36):
It's pretty steep.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
You really mean that, don't you, Homer? You bet?
Speaker 9 (10:40):
I do.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
What do you pay your janitor around here?
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (10:46):
Forty cents an hour?
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yeah? You see, I made a mistake in figuring the bill. Homer, Well,
that's more like it. Yep, yep. The only place we
differ is the value each of us put on your wife.
I was a mid too high. So I'll settle right
now for forty cents an hour, a dollar sixty cash.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Now, John, I didn't mean that perfectly willing to pay
a fair price.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Give me a dollar sixty cents.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
But I I feel ashamed to settle for that, John,
really not you norm give me the money.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, sure, I'll just fix the bill. The Homer Ramsey
count depend aside his operation. Missus Ramsey one hundred dollars
settled for a dollar sixty cents cash. You got a
bargain at that, Homer. You'd have had to pay a
grave digger for six hours.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our play a man to
remember to bring you an important message from Shenley Laboratories.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Today. I'm supply room of.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Eight thousand, three hundred eighty three American hospitals. You will
find penicillin. Yet, only three years ago, the wonder drug
was almost a medical rarity. The firms who devoted themselves
to increasing the supplies of penicillin available struggled against many
obstacles inherent in its production. Numbered among these firms was
Schenley Laboratories. Although these companies have seen the realization of
(12:23):
their goal enough penicillin to feel essential needs, they cannot
feel their work is done. Up to the present, search
workers at Chenley Laboratories have developed such products as penicillin
tablets and trophies for administration by mouth and penicill anointment
and of folm a ointment. Now these men are looking
forward to the perfecting and production of other, and perhaps
(12:45):
entirely different.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Types of pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
It is ever the aim of Shenley Laboratories to know
more of what benefits to mankind may be derived from
medical research. It is our aim, too, to translate the
knowledge we gain into reduction of more and greater aids
to healing for all members of the medical profession. Now
back to the second act of tonight's play, A Man
(13:10):
to Remember, starring mister Lionel Barrymore. The doctor was dead
(13:34):
and the afternoon sun was still haloing the freshly turned earth.
The doctor was dead, and in his lawyer's office sat
his creditors, the banker, the merchant, the president of the school, board.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
What's that next paper there, Lawyer perkinsenting of value.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Not for you, Joe, it's the announcement of Richard's graduation
from Curtis University. We all remember how proud Ducabbitt was
that day. Richard was valedictorian of his class.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Yes, it was nineteen thirty four.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Right after graduation, Dick went to the New York Medical
Center for postgraduate work.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
What's that paper there?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
The bill October eighth, nineteen thirty six to Paul Lubinowski.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Diseased Paul Lubinovski.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
You remember Paul Lubanowski, don't you too?
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Course you do.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
The Duck mentioned him when he was arguing with you
about building a hospital. As a matter of fact, all
of you there, Homer, George, as well as Joe. It
was a board of supervisors meeting past week.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
His board of supervisors appropriated eighteen thousand dollars to fight
hog Koura. I've always worked on the theory that a
man is more valuable than the hog.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Now that in fair, Doc, new Lord. Hog's a big
industry around here.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Also, people, you figure that a dead hog represents twenty
dollars loss, and a dead man caused nothing isn't that.
There's much your business to take that human beings as
it is, take care of horse. Far as I'm concerned,
the whole scheme is ridiculous.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Our budget won't stand it.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
Old thing's impractical.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Oh right, gentlemen, all right, all right, Sorry, I can't
spend more time with you, but I got work to do.
There's a fellow on the other side of the town
named Lubanovski. He's a foreman at the flour mill. They
tell me his crew puts out more flour than the
outfit in the mill. He's a good man, almost as
(15:25):
good as a hog. Yesterday he got his arm caught
in the mill. I had to amputate. I couldn't move
him because I had no hospital to move him to,
no ambulance if there had been a hospital. Now, I
don't think Paul Lubinovki can pull through. Now, you take
(15:47):
care of the hogs. I'll take care of the people
that way, are you, doctor Rabert?
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Happen?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
What's the matter? It's my art. It was my fault,
so I was showing her my gun. It was an accident.
Come in the other room, quickly, come on, come on, Howard,
I'll need you to. How is that feel, honey? Fine,
(16:22):
you're a good doctor. Well, at least I'm the best one. Handy,
he's not very serious.
Speaker 9 (16:28):
Howard may leave.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
A small scar, but that's about all. I'm awfully sorry, sir.
I know there isn't anything to be said for me,
but I'll do anything.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
I can to make it right.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
You mean that, Howard, Oh, I certainly do well. I
got a little plan in mind. Anything, I'll do anything. Relax, Relax,
it is that drastic now? My plan is this? Your
father love you, doesn't he? Yes? And you're sorry for
what you've done, so sorry that you'll make your father
(16:59):
show but he loves you, Yes, sir, Howard, Gene may
have needed surgery at night, X rays, transfusion and time
might have been very important. You wouldn't have been a
very happy boy, Howard. If Jeene doc I didn't know
(17:22):
this near tragic little accident may be a blessing in disguise.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Howard.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I want you to go to your father, tell him
a man as big as he is should engrave his
name in the history of this town. He should leave
something big for the town and for himself, like what
like the George Sykes Memorial Hospital. That was a fine
(17:55):
gesture you made church building that hospital. Well, I probably
would have done it anyhow, I must admit it come
in handy.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
It was rather small of you, though, I think restricting
doctor Arabbott to.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
The charity ward well, the charity cases were always his pets.
Speaker 9 (18:07):
Anyway, let's get on with the box.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
This is a deal.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
A statement sent September twenty first, nineteen thirty seven to
Missus Walter Lamb account Sally.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Lamb six dollars.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
Oh, I remember that.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I think we all remember that.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I'll keep Sally in the house, Missus Lamb, and don't,
under any circumstances let any children come in. I'll ride
out exactly what I want you to do. Of course
you'll be quarantined, but I'll be back this afternoon. Do
you think it's anything serious, doctor, Yes, I think it's
typhoid fever. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I'm sorry to have to
(18:55):
interrupt a board of the supervisors again, but what I
have to say today won't take very much. You're having
a county fair in two weeks and I've come here
to ask you to cancel it.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Cancel it? Are you crazy? What for?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Unless my diagnoses are completely wrong. We're in for an
epidemic of typhoid fever.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
What gives you that idea, Doc, I have four patients,
you have all the symptoms.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
I'll quarantine them. Four people out of a town of
four thousand don't strike me as being an epidemic. Four
cases of typhoid, gentlemen, are quite enough to start preventive
measures so there won't be an epidemic. The merchants of
this town have put up twelve thousand dollars for the
county fair. You suggesting that we throw that money up
a flo just because four of your patients might have typhoid. Hurry,
(19:37):
all right, you leave me no other cost than the
gold the newspaper. I'm going to warn this town, whether
it costs our merchants twelve thousand dollars or not.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Newspapers won't, Nathan, we tell it not to doctor.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
How much is your son worth you, Joe, that's not
a fair question. You're willing to risk him for twelve
thousand dollars. He won't get it?
Speaker 7 (19:58):
Will he typhoid fever?
Speaker 4 (20:00):
He might? He can only don't worry, Jode. I am
going to say he doesn't get it. I hope all
you gentlemen sleep well tonight.
Speaker 10 (20:24):
The boys are all waiting on the front porch dead.
I have ten of them.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Good given me each a pilo handbills. Tell him I
want one in every house in town and all along
Main Street.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
Here, let me see one warning typhoid fever. Do not
attend the County Fair. Boil every drop of water you drink.
I am making a house to house canvas to assure
that everyone is examined. I will give each of you
medical advice on purification of water, and provide chlorinated tablets
for those who have their own water supply. If I
(20:56):
do not get to your house, come to me in
the evenings, John Abbott.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Oh, doctor Ravin, I'm so glad you came.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
The children were all inside, and I talked to every
mother in the block. They brought their youngers over here
to save you time.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Fine, final, let's get to work.
Speaker 8 (21:17):
There's we weren't home today, doctors who we came here
to your house.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I haven't got any money, doc.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
But I'll pay you.
Speaker 11 (21:23):
Pray day.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Good evening, folks. Now, if you line up by one,
we'll take care of you in the living room. Dad.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
The city Council is all serted up about us. They
say you beligned the whole community and ruined the Fair.
I'm afraid we're in trouble again.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Uh probably, Jean. I'm tired. I never felt it before,
but well, I'm an old man.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
You've heard the charges.
Speaker 12 (21:59):
Doctor it because I think person in them, the County
Fair and the reputation of its all has been put
in jeopardy by what we must consider an warranted action
in your part. Have you any defense to offer?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
No? No, no, no, no defense.
Speaker 12 (22:13):
And I have no course but to put this matter
into the record.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Meanwhile, I think I better go forward.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I'm sorry to be late, gentlemen.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
I've been very busy.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
We have six cases of time forward fever in Wellington.
Speaker 12 (22:27):
I shall assume we shall disregard all action taken in
this meeting. Do I hear emotion that a committee appointed
to appear before the Board of Supervisors and insist upon
cancelation of the County Fair.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
I make such emotions all in favor.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
I I.
Speaker 11 (22:48):
Forty two cases in Wellington, twenty three cases in Palmdale,
sixty eight cases in Wellington, thirty nine cases in Palmdale,
four cases in Westport, but no new cases reported there
since the beginning of the acdemic. Well that's the report, schulemen.
I for one think we owe doctor rabbita.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
Might a big debt of bread atude, Daddy.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
There are some people to see you. People, Well send
them in.
Speaker 10 (23:24):
I think maybe you'd better come out on the front porch.
The minister's there, and well there's quite a mob of them.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Huh. Oh, well, all right, good evening, doctor, good evening, Oh,
good evening. Oh doctor, you've you've been among us for
a long time, and you've worked hard. You never made
much money, I guess because the people you worked for.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Didn't have much, but you didn't care. You just kept
right on working.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Maybe a lot of us have been ungrateful. Maybe you think.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
We've forgotten, and we haven't.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
I have here a letter.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
It's a letter of thanks for all you've done. It's
got four thousand signatures, doctor, almost every man, woman and
child in this town. It's just to let you know
that we we love you.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Doctor Rabbit.
Speaker 12 (24:18):
Yes, Doctor Robson, in my mind and in the minds
of my colleagues of the County Medical Association, you perform
the most outstanding service in the history of our community.
You have taught us all something, not only about medicine,
but about humanity. The Westport County Medical Association, as they
have delegated me to inform you that if you will
(24:39):
honor us with your presence, you have an advance been
elected president by acclamation.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Oh oh, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 13 (24:59):
Hello man, I'm mighty proud of you.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Dick. Well, when did you get back? Son?
Speaker 13 (25:05):
Got in on the afternoon train. I wanted to surprise you.
I was just in time to hear the speeches.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
It's so good, you see. Well, I'm certainly having an
exciting day.
Speaker 13 (25:15):
That uh, that shingle out there is too small. You know,
you'll have to get a bigg one, big one. That's right,
there's another name going under yours, doctor John Abbott and
doctor Richard Abbot.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Oh, the first thing in the morning. I've waited a
long time for that.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
Kind of a shame. He had to die just when
he was getting a little recognition.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
His heart was worn out, and so was he. He
gave until he didn't have an ounce of strength left
to give.
Speaker 9 (25:54):
What's in the envelope on the bottom.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
The money for his debts.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
According to his calculations, he owed the three of you
two four twenty six dollars and thirty seven cents.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Do you think he did? Why why don't we give
the money to the charity award at the hospital? Give it?
Speaker 5 (26:11):
I kind of agree with you, George. Those debts should
have been written off a long time ago.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
I guess you're right. You was a fine man. We
might not have always seen eyed eye.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
At leastways, not until he sworks around to his way
of thinking by.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
One means or another.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
But he was a fine man.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
I agree with you, Doctor Abbitt, was a man could remember.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
In a moment, we'll bring back our star Lionel Barrymore.
But first a word about doctors from our sponsor, Shenley Laboratories,
maker of Penicil, and Shenley would like to remind you
that the American standard of health is higher than that
of any country in the world. We feel sure you
will agree that the man who has done most to
make the situation true is the American doctor. Shanley Laboratory's
pledges to do all within its power to aid America's
(27:09):
positions in their work of maintaining America's high standards of health.
And now the star of to Night's play, mister Lionel Barrymore.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Ladies and gentlemen, to sum up the spirit of this
Shanley Laboratory program. This simple and beautiful prayer of the physician,
written centuries ago by my monodies, seems to me to
be apt and fitting. The eternal Providence has appointed me
(27:38):
to watch over the life and death of all thy creatures.
May I always see in the patient, the fellow creature
in pain. Grant me strength and opportunity always to extend
the domain of my craft. Now this is the prayer
of the physician. It's ages old, yet today it's as
(28:01):
new as the hope for a peaceful way of life
for all the world. May we invite you to listen
again next week at this same time, when Shenley Laboratories
presents The Prisoner of Shark Island, starring Zachary Scott, a
great star in a great story.

science and progress are not cold in personal research or
pages of statistics, but a warm human story told in

living terms, whether it's the life of one of medicine's
immortals or the everyday record of service rendered by your
family physicians. Now A Man to Remember, starring mister Lionel Barrymore.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
For the doctor was dead. The funeral was over.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
It had been an impressive afternoon. The town band had
walked before the funeral coach, and the people of the
town had plunged the sidewalks to pay their last respects.
The doctor was there, the earth was in place, and
the stone and the words that honored him, And before
the afternoon sun had sat, the vultures had gathered in
(02:10):
his lawyer's office. George Sykes, the banker, Homer Ramsay, owner
of the local department store, Jode Harkness, president of the
school board.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Sit down, gentlemen. I've got doctor Rabbit's strong box with me.
I find that in most cases of this nature, the
creditors prefer to wait until well the day after the
benediction has been delivered.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Now look at your Clyde. That ain't fair. The dog
had want us to have our money. I hold Doc
Abbot's personal OAE for six hundred dollars plus a hundred interest.
How about you, Homer.

I had the bookkeeper figure up his account to day.
He owes the store seven hundred, twenty six dollars and
thirty seven cents. Hasn't paid a bill since nineteen twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
And you, Jude, you owees me eleven hundred dollars. His
son gave this box to me this morning when I
explained how eager you were to get his father's affairs
in shape. Gentlemen, here is the estate. The estate that's right,
A black signet ring an I trained some papers. Suppose

from high school. And yeah, and you were voted the
boy most likely to succeed, weren't you.

It seems kind of funny now of that.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Sure, there is aiming to stay here for a while.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Well, as long as I can be useful to the community. George, Well,
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
We got some doctors here already.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Well, I thought there might be enough room for one
more might be at that A lot of poor folks
on the other side of town build up quite a
little factory section over there.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
A lot of them folks need doctor, and.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Well, I guess i'll stay there. I need a little
eating money though, how much? All three hundred dollars. That's
a whale of a lot of money, John, Well, I
aim to do whale of a lot of eating in
this town.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
What have you got to offer his security?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Seventeen years experience as a practicing physician. Yeah, you know,
what do we say about horses, John? There's horses and
then again there's horses. I always say that about doctors too. Well,
I've done pretty well here, bro, can't you. I'm meant
about keeping my patience alive. That's my business, you know,
(05:07):
all right, John, I'm going to make out a note
for three hundred dollars and I'll give you two hundred
and fifty. Got to have a little bonus, you know,
when there isn't any security. But I always like to
help an old friend. Do you help out many of
your old friends this way?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
George h sign on this line.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
They should have elated you the boy most likely to succeed.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
That sure was a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Here's the second paper, it's a deal. One of doctor
App's statements. It's made doctor Howard Johnson. It reads June seventeenth,
nineteen nineteen, delivery of child, twenty five dollars. Beneath it
is the notation Johnson has no money.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Wow, Doc, you have a fine baby, girl Johnson. Girl,
and a healthy one too.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Girls ain't no good on a farm.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
I want the boy. I wanted somebody who could help
me work this land when I get old.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Girls are for people who can afford him. Out my
wife Johnson. I I did everything I could. I'm afraid
she wasn't in very good condition to begin with, and
well I had. I did everything I could. I know
how you feel. I lost my wife that way.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
She never had nothing like She lived bad crops, bad times.
Who was gonna have a good crop this season?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I was gonna buy something.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
Yeah, yeah, I'll keep the baby warm.
Speaker 9 (06:50):
And you get out of here.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Get out of here.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Don't ever come back.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
But man, man, you you want to know how to
take care of the baby.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
I trld you to get.
Speaker 9 (07:01):
Said boy.
Speaker 10 (07:10):
That was some shin of pop.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
It is a beauty and sounds like a baby crying.
It's out, sir, Come on look I'm well, I'll be
come on and let's get her inside right away. He
had a son, the doc. I'm sorry I hit you.
(07:35):
Give the kid to somebody who'll be good to it. Johnson.
She sure is. Well, Son, looks as though you got
a baby's sister. I had forgotten Jean wasn't his own child.
Now what's the next paper.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
This is a bill to doctor Rabbit.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
It's from you, Homer see Homer Ramsay, General Merchant Days,
June seventeenth, nineteen twenty three to doctor Abbott account one
baby doll twelve dollars. Please remit well, happy birthday do you?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Happy birthday, Jean, Happy birthday to you. Now you take
a big breath and blow the candles out on it. Hey,
that's wonderful, all for it. Once. That means you're going
(08:35):
to get your wishes. Now, then what did you wish
for a dolly? Well? Well, well, I suppose you go
and look in your bedroom and see what you find.
You go with us undern the lights. Huh, yes, sir,
come on, oh yep, oh oh, Homer Ramsay, what's the matter. Oh,
(09:01):
I see Doc Robinson's.
Speaker 9 (09:03):
Out of town.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
All right, I'll be right over, doctors have the dog
on his time, trying to give party. How is she? Doc? Well, Homer,
your wife has a Q dependic on this. I'm going
(09:26):
to have to operate right away. How much you're gonna
charge me for this operation? I understand? Are you, by
any chance interested in how your wife is doing?
Speaker 5 (09:39):
I certainly am, Doc, But I don't want any of
this funny stuff about the price of the operation. I
want a fair price, but I don't want to be stuck.
Speaker 9 (09:47):
You understand.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I understand. Are you interested by any chance in how
your wife's doing? How is she? Once? She's very low?
Hello Homer? Hello, Doc?
Speaker 9 (10:08):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I have the bill here with me for your wife's operation?
Speaker 5 (10:15):
One hundred dollars. That's right, John, that's right, Homer. How
much of your time? Did the operation take?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
About four hours to calculate?
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Pretty good money for four hours work? Well, here, John,
let's get down to the facts. I don't mind paying
a just fee one hundred dollars for four hours.
Speaker 9 (10:36):
It's pretty steep.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
You really mean that, don't you, Homer? You bet?
Speaker 9 (10:40):
I do.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
What do you pay your janitor around here?
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (10:46):
Forty cents an hour?
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yeah? You see, I made a mistake in figuring the bill. Homer, Well,
that's more like it. Yep, yep. The only place we
differ is the value each of us put on your wife.
I was a mid too high. So I'll settle right
now for forty cents an hour, a dollar sixty cash.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Now, John, I didn't mean that perfectly willing to pay
a fair price.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Give me a dollar sixty cents.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
But I I feel ashamed to settle for that, John,
really not you norm give me the money.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, sure, I'll just fix the bill. The Homer Ramsey
count depend aside his operation. Missus Ramsey one hundred dollars
settled for a dollar sixty cents cash. You got a
bargain at that, Homer. You'd have had to pay a
grave digger for six hours.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our play a man to
remember to bring you an important message from Shenley Laboratories.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Today. I'm supply room of.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Eight thousand, three hundred eighty three American hospitals. You will
find penicillin. Yet, only three years ago, the wonder drug
was almost a medical rarity. The firms who devoted themselves
to increasing the supplies of penicillin available struggled against many
obstacles inherent in its production. Numbered among these firms was
Schenley Laboratories. Although these companies have seen the realization of
(12:23):
their goal enough penicillin to feel essential needs, they cannot
feel their work is done. Up to the present, search
workers at Chenley Laboratories have developed such products as penicillin
tablets and trophies for administration by mouth and penicill anointment
and of folm a ointment. Now these men are looking
forward to the perfecting and production of other, and perhaps
(12:45):
entirely different.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Types of pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
It is ever the aim of Shenley Laboratories to know
more of what benefits to mankind may be derived from
medical research. It is our aim, too, to translate the
knowledge we gain into reduction of more and greater aids
to healing for all members of the medical profession. Now
back to the second act of tonight's play, A Man
(13:10):
to Remember, starring mister Lionel Barrymore. The doctor was dead
(13:34):
and the afternoon sun was still haloing the freshly turned earth.
The doctor was dead, and in his lawyer's office sat
his creditors, the banker, the merchant, the president of the school, board.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
What's that next paper there, Lawyer perkinsenting of value.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Not for you, Joe, it's the announcement of Richard's graduation
from Curtis University. We all remember how proud Ducabbitt was
that day. Richard was valedictorian of his class.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Yes, it was nineteen thirty four.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Right after graduation, Dick went to the New York Medical
Center for postgraduate work.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
What's that paper there?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
The bill October eighth, nineteen thirty six to Paul Lubinowski.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Diseased Paul Lubinovski.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
You remember Paul Lubanowski, don't you too?
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Course you do.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
The Duck mentioned him when he was arguing with you
about building a hospital. As a matter of fact, all
of you there, Homer, George, as well as Joe. It
was a board of supervisors meeting past week.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
His board of supervisors appropriated eighteen thousand dollars to fight
hog Koura. I've always worked on the theory that a
man is more valuable than the hog.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Now that in fair, Doc, new Lord. Hog's a big
industry around here.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Also, people, you figure that a dead hog represents twenty
dollars loss, and a dead man caused nothing isn't that.
There's much your business to take that human beings as
it is, take care of horse. Far as I'm concerned,
the whole scheme is ridiculous.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Our budget won't stand it.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
Old thing's impractical.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Oh right, gentlemen, all right, all right, Sorry, I can't
spend more time with you, but I got work to do.
There's a fellow on the other side of the town
named Lubanovski. He's a foreman at the flour mill. They
tell me his crew puts out more flour than the
outfit in the mill. He's a good man, almost as
(15:25):
good as a hog. Yesterday he got his arm caught
in the mill. I had to amputate. I couldn't move
him because I had no hospital to move him to,
no ambulance if there had been a hospital. Now, I
don't think Paul Lubinovki can pull through. Now, you take
(15:47):
care of the hogs. I'll take care of the people
that way, are you, doctor Rabert?
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Happen?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
What's the matter? It's my art. It was my fault,
so I was showing her my gun. It was an accident.
Come in the other room, quickly, come on, come on, Howard,
I'll need you to. How is that feel, honey? Fine,
(16:22):
you're a good doctor. Well, at least I'm the best one. Handy,
he's not very serious.
Speaker 9 (16:28):
Howard may leave.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
A small scar, but that's about all. I'm awfully sorry, sir.
I know there isn't anything to be said for me,
but I'll do anything.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
I can to make it right.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
You mean that, Howard, Oh, I certainly do well. I
got a little plan in mind. Anything, I'll do anything. Relax, Relax,
it is that drastic now? My plan is this? Your
father love you, doesn't he? Yes? And you're sorry for
what you've done, so sorry that you'll make your father
(16:59):
show but he loves you, Yes, sir, Howard, Gene may
have needed surgery at night, X rays, transfusion and time
might have been very important. You wouldn't have been a
very happy boy, Howard. If Jeene doc I didn't know
(17:22):
this near tragic little accident may be a blessing in disguise.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Howard.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I want you to go to your father, tell him
a man as big as he is should engrave his
name in the history of this town. He should leave
something big for the town and for himself, like what
like the George Sykes Memorial Hospital. That was a fine
(17:55):
gesture you made church building that hospital. Well, I probably
would have done it anyhow, I must admit it come
in handy.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
It was rather small of you, though, I think restricting
doctor Arabbott to.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
The charity ward well, the charity cases were always his pets.
Speaker 9 (18:07):
Anyway, let's get on with the box.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
This is a deal.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
A statement sent September twenty first, nineteen thirty seven to
Missus Walter Lamb account Sally.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Lamb six dollars.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
Oh, I remember that.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I think we all remember that.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I'll keep Sally in the house, Missus Lamb, and don't,
under any circumstances let any children come in. I'll ride
out exactly what I want you to do. Of course
you'll be quarantined, but I'll be back this afternoon. Do
you think it's anything serious, doctor, Yes, I think it's
typhoid fever. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I'm sorry to have to
(18:55):
interrupt a board of the supervisors again, but what I
have to say today won't take very much. You're having
a county fair in two weeks and I've come here
to ask you to cancel it.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Cancel it? Are you crazy? What for?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Unless my diagnoses are completely wrong. We're in for an
epidemic of typhoid fever.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
What gives you that idea, Doc, I have four patients,
you have all the symptoms.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
I'll quarantine them. Four people out of a town of
four thousand don't strike me as being an epidemic. Four
cases of typhoid, gentlemen, are quite enough to start preventive
measures so there won't be an epidemic. The merchants of
this town have put up twelve thousand dollars for the
county fair. You suggesting that we throw that money up
a flo just because four of your patients might have typhoid. Hurry,
(19:37):
all right, you leave me no other cost than the
gold the newspaper. I'm going to warn this town, whether
it costs our merchants twelve thousand dollars or not.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Newspapers won't, Nathan, we tell it not to doctor.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
How much is your son worth you, Joe, that's not
a fair question. You're willing to risk him for twelve
thousand dollars. He won't get it?
Speaker 7 (19:58):
Will he typhoid fever?
Speaker 4 (20:00):
He might? He can only don't worry, Jode. I am
going to say he doesn't get it. I hope all
you gentlemen sleep well tonight.
Speaker 10 (20:24):
The boys are all waiting on the front porch dead.
I have ten of them.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Good given me each a pilo handbills. Tell him I
want one in every house in town and all along
Main Street.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
Here, let me see one warning typhoid fever. Do not
attend the County Fair. Boil every drop of water you drink.
I am making a house to house canvas to assure
that everyone is examined. I will give each of you
medical advice on purification of water, and provide chlorinated tablets
for those who have their own water supply. If I
(20:56):
do not get to your house, come to me in
the evenings, John Abbott.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Oh, doctor Ravin, I'm so glad you came.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
The children were all inside, and I talked to every
mother in the block. They brought their youngers over here
to save you time.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Fine, final, let's get to work.
Speaker 8 (21:17):
There's we weren't home today, doctors who we came here
to your house.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I haven't got any money, doc.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
But I'll pay you.
Speaker 11 (21:23):
Pray day.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Good evening, folks. Now, if you line up by one,
we'll take care of you in the living room. Dad.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
The city Council is all serted up about us. They
say you beligned the whole community and ruined the Fair.
I'm afraid we're in trouble again.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Uh probably, Jean. I'm tired. I never felt it before,
but well, I'm an old man.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
You've heard the charges.
Speaker 12 (21:59):
Doctor it because I think person in them, the County
Fair and the reputation of its all has been put
in jeopardy by what we must consider an warranted action
in your part. Have you any defense to offer?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
No? No, no, no, no defense.
Speaker 12 (22:13):
And I have no course but to put this matter
into the record.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Meanwhile, I think I better go forward.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I'm sorry to be late, gentlemen.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
I've been very busy.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
We have six cases of time forward fever in Wellington.
Speaker 12 (22:27):
I shall assume we shall disregard all action taken in
this meeting. Do I hear emotion that a committee appointed
to appear before the Board of Supervisors and insist upon
cancelation of the County Fair.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
I make such emotions all in favor.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
I I.
Speaker 11 (22:48):
Forty two cases in Wellington, twenty three cases in Palmdale,
sixty eight cases in Wellington, thirty nine cases in Palmdale,
four cases in Westport, but no new cases reported there
since the beginning of the acdemic. Well that's the report, schulemen.
I for one think we owe doctor rabbita.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
Might a big debt of bread atude, Daddy.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
There are some people to see you. People, Well send
them in.
Speaker 10 (23:24):
I think maybe you'd better come out on the front porch.
The minister's there, and well there's quite a mob of them.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Huh. Oh, well, all right, good evening, doctor, good evening, Oh,
good evening. Oh doctor, you've you've been among us for
a long time, and you've worked hard. You never made
much money, I guess because the people you worked for.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Didn't have much, but you didn't care. You just kept
right on working.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Maybe a lot of us have been ungrateful. Maybe you think.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
We've forgotten, and we haven't.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
I have here a letter.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
It's a letter of thanks for all you've done. It's
got four thousand signatures, doctor, almost every man, woman and
child in this town. It's just to let you know
that we we love you.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Doctor Rabbit.
Speaker 12 (24:18):
Yes, Doctor Robson, in my mind and in the minds
of my colleagues of the County Medical Association, you perform
the most outstanding service in the history of our community.
You have taught us all something, not only about medicine,
but about humanity. The Westport County Medical Association, as they
have delegated me to inform you that if you will
(24:39):
honor us with your presence, you have an advance been
elected president by acclamation.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Oh oh, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 13 (24:59):
Hello man, I'm mighty proud of you.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Dick. Well, when did you get back? Son?
Speaker 13 (25:05):
Got in on the afternoon train. I wanted to surprise you.
I was just in time to hear the speeches.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
It's so good, you see. Well, I'm certainly having an
exciting day.
Speaker 13 (25:15):
That uh, that shingle out there is too small. You know,
you'll have to get a bigg one, big one. That's right,
there's another name going under yours, doctor John Abbott and
doctor Richard Abbot.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Oh, the first thing in the morning. I've waited a
long time for that.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
Kind of a shame. He had to die just when
he was getting a little recognition.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
His heart was worn out, and so was he. He
gave until he didn't have an ounce of strength left
to give.
Speaker 9 (25:54):
What's in the envelope on the bottom.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
The money for his debts.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
According to his calculations, he owed the three of you
two four twenty six dollars and thirty seven cents.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Do you think he did? Why why don't we give
the money to the charity award at the hospital? Give it?
Speaker 5 (26:11):
I kind of agree with you, George. Those debts should
have been written off a long time ago.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
I guess you're right. You was a fine man. We
might not have always seen eyed eye.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
At leastways, not until he sworks around to his way
of thinking by.

But first a word about doctors from our sponsor, Shenley Laboratories,
maker of Penicil, and Shenley would like to remind you
that the American standard of health is higher than that
of any country in the world. We feel sure you
will agree that the man who has done most to
make the situation true is the American doctor. Shanley Laboratory's
pledges to do all within its power to aid America's

And now the star of to Night's play, mister Lionel Barrymore.

Ladies and gentlemen, to sum up the spirit of this
Shanley Laboratory program. This simple and beautiful prayer of the physician,
written centuries ago by my monodies, seems to me to
be apt and fitting. The eternal Providence has appointed me
(27:38):
to watch over the life and death of all thy creatures.
May I always see in the patient, the fellow creature
in pain. Grant me strength and opportunity always to extend
the domain of my craft. Now this is the prayer
of the physician. It's ages old, yet today it's as
(28:01):
new as the hope for a peaceful way of life
for all the world. May we invite you to listen
again next week at this same time, when Shenley Laboratories
presents The Prisoner of Shark Island, starring Zachary Scott, a
great star in a great story.
