In this episode of The Family Doctor, titled Once to Every Boy, mischief finds the Maynard twins when they decide to buy a cigar, pretending it's for their father. What begins as a seemingly innocent errand from the local drugstore quickly spirals into a secret experiment gone wrong. Soon, both the town doctor and minister must step in as the boys learn firsthand the consequences of their actions.
Produced in 1937, The Family Doctor was a syndicated drama series that combined gentle humor with small-town lessons, reflecting everyday dilemmas of American life. This episode shows how even common missteps were handled with compassion and understanding in the world of old-time radio storytelling.

Speaker 9 (11:48):
What is it? Mother?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
What's what in the world has happened?
Speaker 11 (11:51):
I wonder?
Speaker 14 (11:54):
Oh m hmmm, and mother, Yes, clan, I think this
is a case for doctor Adams and myself.
Speaker 9 (12:04):
You'd better wait in the parlor.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Well just as you say, glan.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Well doctor, Hello boys, doctor you don't feel sick?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Do you.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Let me feel your pulses? Both at the same time
as I know these symptoms, you know, Reverend, the best
cure for this is a good dose of food.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Food.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yes, that suggest some oyster stew.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Followed quickly by scrambled legs, and then ending up with
nice dessert of wobbles and syrup.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Well, I'll get that for them right away.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Doctor, And I think I had better hurry down the
Maze drug store and get a bottle of castor oil.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
Yes, yes, doctor, yes, sir, I'll go right with.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Command Grant.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
Let's break the news to their mother.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
It is serious, is it, Doctor Adams.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Well, I'm afraid it is, missus maynerd.
Speaker 9 (13:10):
You must prepare yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Mother, What is it?
Speaker 11 (13:15):
Cigar?
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Writis cigar?
Speaker 8 (13:19):
Cigar?
Speaker 11 (13:21):
Cigar?
Speaker 9 (13:23):
Own?
Speaker 8 (13:25):
My baby?
Speaker 9 (13:26):
Mother?
Speaker 14 (13:28):
You may as well know it now as any time
the twins are growing up.
Speaker 9 (13:33):
They're thirteen years old, and.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
This is a Family Doctor. I'll be in to see
you again right soon, goodbye.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Welcome back.
Speaker 11 (15:26):
Well.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Compared to the other episodes of Family Doctor, this is
probably one of the more common plots. This sort of
thing happened a lot on sitcoms. I remember very distinctly
an episode of The Great Guilder Sleeve that was centered
entirely on Leroy smoking cigars. Now, these programs really are
(15:49):
interesting to see how the subject is treated, and in
this case, there's no sense of moral panic. This was
a pretty common misdeal for boys to do, and the
reaction is muted and has a lot of understanding, even
from the town doctor and the town minister. And this
(16:09):
is a case where even though the boys did something wrong,
it's hard to argue that any additional punishment levied on
them could come close to the natural consequences of their actions.
It's time for me to close up the old snackwagon,
but don't worry. We'll be back with another serving of
old time radio goodness before you know it. If you

Oh m hmmm, and mother, Yes, clan, I think this
is a case for doctor Adams and myself.

You'd better wait in the parlor.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Well just as you say, glan.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Well doctor, Hello boys, doctor you don't feel sick?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Do you.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Let me feel your pulses? Both at the same time
as I know these symptoms, you know, Reverend, the best
cure for this is a good dose of food.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Food.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yes, that suggest some oyster stew.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Followed quickly by scrambled legs, and then ending up with
nice dessert of wobbles and syrup.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Well, I'll get that for them right away.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Doctor, And I think I had better hurry down the
Maze drug store and get a bottle of castor oil.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
Yes, yes, doctor, yes, sir, I'll go right with.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Command Grant.

Speaker 9 (13:33):

Speaker 3 (15:07):
This is a Family Doctor. I'll be in to see
you again right soon, goodbye.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Welcome back.
Speaker 11 (15:26):
Well.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Compared to the other episodes of Family Doctor, this is
probably one of the more common plots. This sort of
thing happened a lot on sitcoms. I remember very distinctly
an episode of The Great Guilder Sleeve that was centered
entirely on Leroy smoking cigars. Now, these programs really are
(15:49):
interesting to see how the subject is treated, and in
this case, there's no sense of moral panic. This was
a pretty common misdeal for boys to do, and the
reaction is muted and has a lot of understanding, even
from the town doctor and the town minister. And this
(16:09):
is a case where even though the boys did something wrong,
it's hard to argue that any additional punishment levied on
them could come close to the natural consequences of their actions.
It's time for me to close up the old snackwagon,
