CHAPTER V
5/41

He is the son of Colonel Cameron of Transvaal fame, killed while leading a charge.

Dick has done awfully well in the medical, passed all necessary exams, and taken every possible degree.

He is now looking out for a practice, and meanwhile a big man in London has sent him out to investigate one of these queer water friction cures--professes to cure cataract and cancer and every known disease, by simply sitting you in a tub, and rubbing you down with a dish-cloth.
