The Swiss Family Robinson; or Adventures in a Desert Island

CHAPTER XXXII
26/34

You did well to remember it; we will go to Tent House for it.

Fritz, you shall accompany me to assist in bringing it.
I wished to be alone with Fritz, to consult him about the English vessel, and was glad of this opportunity.

Before I left my wife, I intended to examine her leg and foot, which were exceedingly painful.
When I was preparing to enter the Church, I had studied medicine and practical surgery, in order to be able to administer to the bodily afflictions of my poor parishioners, as well as to their spiritual sorrows.

I knew how to bleed, and could replace a dislocated limb.

I had often made cures; but since my arrival at the island I had neglected my medical studies, which happily had not been needed.
