She does resemble old Sam Walker som ‘They are very common, illiterate people, and believe in witeheraft.. Her practice in medicine, I am told, is altogether in the black art. It has been a custom of mine for years, when I left home, to set everything in good order; pick up all my cares and bundle them ur them in a ure pl to remain there until my return, © are like Chinese: fone they will accumulate, and I always find the bundle has swelled beyond my expectations. During my visit to the President it was impossible for me to feel pout my home affairs, for there was a presentiment that something w: ving wrong at home but as [had gone up to Washington ton tify the blunderings of the President and his cabinet, I tried to be reconciled until all my business was transacted. "The President is said to be a good fisher- man and spends most of his time upon the river banks. I've heard t 4 man who loves to fish and hunt was always lazy and trifling. Be th it may, some of our big men in high places can be termed fishers of money, and mos of them would like to strike a government money pond, so its not worth while for us to throw rocks at the President or any of the rest of ‘em.

Every remedy that we had ever heard of was resorted to, but all failed When I told him of Doctor Mary Walker fame in treating cases of witchcraft, nothing would do him but to send after her. So I called in my son (Josh Billings) and told him to take the filly and ride as hard as he could go until he reached Washington, and go to the President’s, and tell him that although it was not the custom for common people to call upon His Excellency for his private physician, but for once let his char- ity extend to us, and let us e Doctor Mary Walker, for she alone of all the physi- cians in the United States understood how to take a spell off of any one who had been conjured by wite She came, and was dressed most peculiar.

She also wore a fur-lined liver pad, and had on a breastpin and earrings with the likeness of old sister Liddy Pinkam on them.
