Report of Missouri Farmers* Week. 399 



When the poor emaciated victim of disease was tossing on the 

 bed of pain, hovering near the brink of death's dark stream, this 

 noble animal stood in dumb anxiety at the hospital door and 

 offered the elixir of life, the restorer of health, and saved a human 

 life — and she is only a machine. 



She wended her way to the orphan's home and saved the 

 motherless babe, whose mother had gone to that land from which 

 no traveler ever returns. She is only a machine, but if from all the 

 languages of earth I could choose the choicest words and weave 

 them into garlands of praise, I could but faintly express the debt 

 we owe her.
