Then Quincy broached what
was upper-most in his mind and which had been the real reason for his
call. He stated briefly the facts concerning Alice's case, and asked
Paul's advice.
Dr. Culver salt for a few moments apparently in deep study.
"My advice," said he, "is to see Tillotson. He has an office in the
Hotel Pelham, up by the Public Library, you know."
"Is he a 'regular'?" asked Quincy.
"Well," said Culver, "I don't think he is. For a fact I know he is not
an M.D., but I fancy that the diploma that be holds from the Almighty is
worth more to suffering humanity than a good many issued by the
colleges."
"You are a pretty broad-minded allopath," said Quincy, "to give such a
sweeping recommendation to a quack."
"I didn't say he was a quack," replied Culver. "He is a natural-born
healer, and he uses only nature's remedies in his practice. Go and see
him, Quincy, and judge for yourself."
"But," said Quincy, "I had hoped that you--"
"But I couldn't," broke in Paul. "I am an emergency doctor. If baby has
the croup, or Jimmy has the measles, or father has the lung fever, they
call me in, and I get them well as soon as possible.
