Excerpt from Transactions of the Medical Society of the State of North Carolina: Forty-Fourth Annual Meeting, Held at Morehead City, N. C., June 8, 9, and 10, 1897 Death, won't you please go out and get in the apple tree and wait till I get ready and get my hair fixed 7 Oh yes, madame. So he went up the apple tree and could not get down, and there was no death. Men sought to be killed in war and by poison, but there was no death. They searched for death everywhere, and finally a medical practitioner found Death and tried to put him down. Notice was sent to the King, and the old lady said she would never permit death to come down from that apple tree, that she was perfectly willing for him to go to anyone else, but she wanted him to keep his hands off of her. So death came down from the tree, and that is why he is in the world to-dav. History tells us that Napoleon in Egypt, after capturing the people to keep them from fighting, he sent for his surgeon and said: I want you to poison these men. I can see the grand look in his face as he said Sire, my mission is to cure and not to kill, and he would not kill them. Napoleon, took the men and shot every one of them, and that was the beginning of his own downfall. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
