"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

Saturday, November 27th.

A clear day with some thaw in the afternoon. John Kivett and son and Bill Hand came around this way
with John's sled before we had eaten breakfast. They were going to town and had come after some of
Bill's wheat. Father and I bundled up and went with them. I to see about getting my jaw cured. Dr. Cure
merely gave me a bottle of liniment. I went up to Uncle Rip's and staid too long as the boys could'n't find
me and left me. I however came in Rol Mosier's wagon one hour later. Alvin entirley finished ceiling up
the kitchen and chored around. I didn't feel any better for my trip when I got home.

Teaching Notes: What a wonderful name for a Doctor to have! Actually, there were other Dr. Cures
in Martinsville well into the 20th century...decendents of this Dr. Cure.

Curing an abscess with liniment. Medical science has come quiet a distance in 125 years.
