Case No. 5-DR. F. PIERCE, THE INDIAN DOCTOR
This was an old long haired coon, calling himself an In-
dian doctor, making and prescribing his own medicine. He
made his own diagnosis by shutting his eyes and seeing
you through his X-ray eyes. It did not matter what the
trouble would be, he would prescribe the same dope. We had
him arrested for practicing medicine without a license.
When the case was called for trial, he plead guilty, the ver-
dict of the jury being a fine of fifty dollars and one day in
jail.
