A Doctor of the Old School — Volume 2

Doctor MacLure does not conduct himself with formal ceremony at his patients' homes. Rather than delivering diagnoses from the hearth with an air of authority, he typically offers his medical directions in the yard, often with one foot already in the stirrup to depart. When he emerges from the room where Annie Mitchell lies dying, he speaks no words—a silence that deeply troubles her husband. This volume is part of a classic literature collection focused on restoring works that have long been out of print. The publisher has scanned the original text and hand-curated each title to produce an edition as faithful as possible to the original work, making this significant literary work accessible to modern readers.
