Describes Henry Allen who was 'only the village surgeon, not even an M.D., fellow of half a dozen learned societies, but merely a general practitioner'. Adds that he 'dispensed as well as prescribed his medicines, and accepted a five shilling fee, when his patients were too poor to pay a guinea'. (355) |
