Dr. Rush and the Minister

THAT pious Christian, wise philosopher, and celebrated physician, Dr. Rush, of Philadelphia, was once consulted by a minister who was somewhat unwell. The doctor prescribed a medicine that was extremely unpalatable. The patient inquired if he might not take it in a little good old Jamaica rum. "No, sir," was the decided reply. "Why, sir," said the other, "what harm will it do me?" "Sir," said Dr. Rush, "I am determined that no man shall rise in the day of Judgment and say Dr. Rush made him a drunkard."
